How Hitler Came to Power
Two Books by Peter Ross Range
Ross Range has written a gripping account of Hitler's rise to power. As the Nazi party was torn by internal dissent and losing popular support, a high-level conspiracy placed Hitler in the chancellor's office. With the January 6, 2021 insurrection and on-going crisis of American democracy, this history is more than relevant. It is a warning.
David North interviewed the author on December 7, 2021.
The crucial year 1924 saw Hitler's transformation into the self-proclaimed savior and infallible leader who would distort Germany's history to support his vision for the Third Reich. In the Landsberg Prison with his co-conspirators after the failed Munich Beer Hall Putsch of October 1923, he would write the autobiographical account which became his manifesto: Mein Kampf.
Seven Volume History of the Soviet Union Between 1922 and 1940
by Vadim Rogovin
This is the first in the seven volume history of the Soviet Union between 1922 and 1940 by Russian Marxist historian Vadim Rogovin.
In this volume, Rogovin traces the complex inner-party struggles of 1923-1927, analyzing contemporaneous official documents, speeches and articles, Soviet archival material, memoirs of participants in political life, and documents by members of the Left Opposition that were suppressed in the Soviet Union for many decades.
World Socialist Web Site review of Was There an Alternative?
"Rogovin explodes the myth, shared by both anti-communists and Stalinists alike, that Stalinism evolved naturally and seamlessly out of Bolshevism."
Three more volumes in the series previously published by Mehring Books are also available for online ordering.
