Karl Lueger: Mayor of Fin De Siecle Vienna

<p>Karl Lueger, mayor of fin de siècle Vienna, was one of the forerunners to the National Socialists. In this historical synthesis, Richard Geehr goes beyond a traditional "life and times" biography and places Lueger in the context of Austrian politics and society. What emerges is a significant political, social, and cultural analysis of the career of Lueger and the development of Austrian society.<br>Geehr demonstrates how Lueger effected an ideological integration of social, cultural, economic, and political elements, bridging the earlier, more nationally empirical Liberalism and the post-imperial movements.<br>Charismatic and , at times, demagogic, Lueger governed Vienna through his domination of a political machine based on a people's political movement. One concludes this work understanding that Lueger's Christian Socialism was the basis for Hitler's National Socialism.</p>

The third volume covers the period from 1860 to 1920, beginning with the Jews, slavery, and the Civil War, and concluding with the rise of Reform Judaism as well as the increasing spirit of secularization that characterized emancipated, prosperous, liberal Jewry before it was confronted by a rising tide of American anti-Semitism in the 1920s.
