A German social-democratic refugee Franz Neumann, produced a comprehensive look of Nazism in a new and holistic manner. It is well-thought and astute; it is remarkably adorned with multiple references and numerous quotes of political thinkers across the span; it encompasses copious amounts of analytical substance; and it has a language style that is irrefutably engrossing.
