Third Reich in the Ivory Tower

Explore the intricate relationship between American academia and Nazi Germany in "Third Reich in the Ivory Tower" by Stephen H. Norwood. Published in 2011 by Cambridge University Press, this compelling work spans 352 pages and presents the first systematic examination of the sympathy for Nazi ideologies within American universities during the 1930s. Norwood delves into a stark contrast between widespread grassroots opposition to Hitler's regime and the relative silence from college campuses at the time. This thought-provoking analysis not only sheds light on the historical dynamics of higher education but also challenges readers to reflect on the moral implications of such responses. A must-read for anyone interested in the intersection of education, politics, and history, this book is an invaluable addition to your library.
