Will & Power: The Philosophy & Psychology of Hitler and Nietzsche
In the years between 1933 and 1945, approximately six million Jewish men, women and children were systematically murdered under the direction of Adolph Hitler and The Third Reich in the name of German National Socialism.
History records this as the Holocaust, or, more appropriately, the Shoah – Hebrew for ‘catastrophe’.
This work will seek to define two of the major principles behind Hitler’s ideological views (The Race Theories and German anti-Semitism) and how they applied to Hitler’s plan to create the perfect Aryan nation.
It will also break down the ideas of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, ideas that have spawned horrific ideologies and have proffered a distorted view of the mind, the will, and human nature.
This was a difficult book to write; the research took me into some of the darker recesses of the human soul. That individual men could be the catalyst for some of the most horrific instances in human history is something we must try hard to understand, if only to prevent them from happening again.
