Hardback. Zustand: Good. From the turmoil of post-World War I Europe to the plague of terrorism in our modern society, Sacred Causes is a penetrating critique of the politics of religion and the religion of politics. Michael Burleigh, author of The Third Reich, examines the way in which religion has been swayed by -- and contributed to -- conflicting secular currents. Totalitarian regimes like those of Hitler, Stalin and Franco mimicked the power structure and rituals of religion, while attempting to restore the days when god and ruler were one. At the same time, fear of socialism tempered the churches' response to the threat of totalitarianism. Burleigh combines this authoritative survey of history with a timely reminder of the dangers of radical secularism. He also investigates the possibility of a civic religion, intended to counter the threat of terrorism.Michael Burleigh is the author of Earthly Powers: The Clash of Religion and Politics in Europe, from the French Revolution to the Great War; Sacred Causes: The Clash of Religion and Politics, from the Great War to the War on Terror; The Third Reich: A New History, which won the Samuel Johnson Prize for Nonfiction; and Blood and Rage: A Cultural History of Terrorism. He is married and lives in London."A fascinating chronicle . Burleigh tracks the fate of religious and secular forces in the 20th century, registering their collisions and their effects on the culture we live in today." -- The Wall Street Journal.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Between 1933 and 1945 the Nazi regime in Germany tried to restructure a 'class' society along racial lines. This book deals with the ideas and institutions which underpinned this mission, and shows how Nazi policy affected various groups of people, both victims and beneficiaries. The book, first published in 1991, begins with a serious discussion of the origins of Nazi racial ideology, and then demonstrates the thoroughness and purposiveness with which this was translated into official policy. The book deals with the systematic persecution not only of the Jews, the largest group of victims of Nazism, but also with the fate of lesser-known groups such as Sinti and Roma, the mentally handicapped, the 'asocial', and homosexuals. Finally, the book examines the racially-motivated social policies of the regime which affected every German 'national comrade'. The authors argue that the Third Reich was fundamentally different from other totalitarian regimes because of the all-encompassing nature of its racial policies. These were neither exclusively reactionary nor 'modern', but were rather an unprecedented form of progress into barbarism.…
