description |
This is an unfashionable book. The 1960s taught me the necessity of defying
the wisdom of the tribe, even the tribe of the intellectuals. The book breaks
a number of conventions, most of which I spell out in the introduction. But
its mortal sin is to take seriously Thucydides’ insistence that human history
is the history of power – dynamis – and of armed conflict. Much of this first
volume may not seem explicitly concerned with warfare, the central feature
and supreme purpose of the regimes whose advent, nature, and workings it
seeks to explain. But war is ever-present, even in my imprudent excursions into
economics, social and political structures, and the realm of ideas. Clausewitz
memorably insisted that “the soldier is recruited, clothed, armed, and drilled,
[and] sleeps, eats, drinks, and marches, only for this: that he should fight in the
right place at the right time.” This volume establishes the logistical base and
conducts the long approach march toward an understanding of the supremely
violent careers of the Fascist and Nazi regimes. Its successor will build on that
foundation in analyzing the outcomes, from the respective “seizures of power”
in 1922–26 and 1933–34 to common ruin in 1943–45 |
