The American west and the Nazi east: a comparative and interpretive perspective
Kakel, Carroll P.
By employing new 'optics' and a comparative approach, this book helps us recognize the unexpected and unsettling connections between America's 'western' empire and Nazi Germany's 'eastern' empire, linking histories previously thoughtof as totally unrelated and leading readers towards a deep revisioning of the'American West' and the 'Nazi East'. CARROLL P. KAKEL, III ('Pete') is a research historian and lecturer at TheJohns Hopkins University Centre for Liberal Arts, USA. He has an MA in Holocaust Studies (with distinction) and a PhD in Modern History from Royal Holloway, University of London.
