纳粹掌权：一个德国小镇的经历
(us) William Sheridan Allen
"The Nazis Take Power: The Experience of a Small German Town" shows how the Nazi dictatorship used propaganda to cleverly override democratic institutions and seize power. Relying on local newspapers, journals, reports, budget information, crime statistics, interviews with individuals, and legal records, William Sheridan Allen dissects the German town of Northheim, charting with microscopic precision the transformation of a sleepy town into a Nazi stronghold. In this powerful analysis, Aron argues that the common belief that Hitler came to power at the national level is a misconception and that, contrary to Hitler's fervent local supporters, the Third Reich would never have emerged. Aron's study shows how the Nazis were able to use sharp and sophisticated propaganda to exploit the weaknesses of the masses, making this book not just a study of history but of human nature.
