Hitler and the Forgotten Nazis: A History of Austrian National Socialism

Most works on east central Europe have either ended or begun with the year 1918, thus leaving the reader wondering what happened to the fragments of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, or confused by the bewildering domestic and foreign problems confronting the successor states. This book is dedicated to the proposition that neither the Monarchy nor its legacy can be properly understood without careful comparisons between the pre-World War I and interwar years.

Rising to a great challenge in this remarkable study, Bruce Pauley compares the origins, development, and demise of all three forms of European totalitarianism, explaining why the old regimes that preceded the dictatorships failed, how the totalitarian movements arose, and how they captured, consolidated, and eventually plummeted from power. 
Although its vivid portraits of the dictators' youths, early careers, relationships with women, management styles, and cults of personality--that they and their propaganda machines crafted--are certain to fascinate all readers, Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini is much more than a triple biography; it is a unique, interpretive comparison of the economics, culture, education, and health-care systems of all three dictatorships. While more conventional subjects such as diplomacy and war are by no means neglected, Professor Pauley goes further to explore the regimes' treatment of women, young people, and their terroristic oppression of religious institutions and minorities.
