Lee McGowan Knihy

Historický a politický vývoj radikální pravice v Evropě zůstává aktuálním tématem, přičemž většina literatury se soustředí na nástup nacistické strany a Hitlerův režim. Méně se však zkoumá pravicový extremismus v Německu před rokem 1918 a po roce 1945, a témata od sjednocení Německa po současnost jsou téměř opomíjena. Lee McGowan, vyučující na Královnině univerzitě v Belfastu, představuje unikátní analýzu vývoje pravicového extremismu v Německu během čtyř různých politických režimů. Kniha objasňuje kořeny a vzestup pravicového extremismu od bismarckovského systému po porážku v první světové válce, rozmach pod nacisty ve dvacátých letech a vliv nacismu během třetí říše. Dále analyzuje současné krajně pravicové hnutí, jehož součástí je i vliv Internetu a proměny neonacistických skupin v devadesátých letech, včetně zapojení žen. Text je psán jasným jazykem, strukturován do devíti kapitol a obsahuje bohatý poznámkový aparát, komentovanou bibliografii a kvalitní rejstřík. Autor kombinuje sociologické a historické argumenty, čímž posiluje přesvědčivost svých tvrzení a vyhýbá se zjednodušením. McGowanova práce je výjimečná nejen akademicky, ale i jako dramatický a napínavý čtenářský zážitek.

Tracing the history of right-wing politics through the full span of Germany's life as a nation, Lee McGowan shows that the attitudes and policies of the radical right neither began with Hitler's pursuit of power in the 1920s nor ended with his death in the ruins of Berlin.

A nameless alien data compiler comes to Earth to study humans, setting up shop on the outskirts of a small desert community in North America. Working under forced labor, it must watch humans in complete secrecy while sending regular reports to its manager back home.

In doing so, it discovers a forbidden ability...it can control human minds. Now, the alien struggles to keep this secret from its manager, deal with a growing number of suspicious humans, and come to terms with its ethically questionable decisions.
