ABSTRACT
In every political situation we must adhere to the old, tried guidelines of National Socialism, not treating all business alike in the Marxist way, but distinguishing strictly between healthy business leadership, which is indispensable to the economy and exploiters. To talk of expropriation of all industrial concerns is, of course, a direct contravention of National Socialist principles. Now fully revised and reformatted, Hitler and the Rise of the Nazi Party is an indispensible guide to the history of the Nazi party between its initial electoral breakthrough in 1930 and its victory in 1933. Arguing that the Nazis owed their success as much to Hitler's charismatic leadership and their own effective propaganda and organisation as to the weakness of the Weimar regime, Frank McDonough provides an original perspective on the subject as well as a concise, readable introduction to key events and debates.
