Summary: Thomas Fach
Comment: This is a decent book. If pressed it is a great book. The main problem with the writings is that #1 the author states his personal opinion far more frequently then any author should, in good taste.
Further, the sad fact of the matter is that there is almost no credibility as to what is being said, considering Guido von List, is Jewish. (one of the supposed prophets to the Aryan racial doctine) All credibility in this book is nill. This book is published by the NYU press. Wich is predominatly Jewish. This raises serious questions (doubts)in my mind of the reliability of any information printed in the victorious country about the nation defeated. Sad world we live in.

Summary: The Occult Roots of Nazism
Comment: This is a great book on the history of the movement. A lot of good info about Aryan Paganism in Germany at the start of the 1900s. I've known people who were involved with German Wotanism between the 1920s to 1945 and have books of and about that time period, but Mr. Goodricke-Clarke talks about alot of people I've never heard of before, and he gives new details about people I've read a great deal about. This book is the only source for a lot of this info.
His new book Black Sun is like part II of The Occult Roots of Nazism. He talks about the Pagan Revival after WWII and all the new ideas and people in the movement. These two books should be read together.

Summary: Ariosophism
Comment: The Occult Roots of Nazism by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke is a very well written study of the massive influence Aryan occultism and esoteric societies had upon Hitler and the theoriticians of the NSDAP. He is quite comprehensive in his coverage of Ariosophist philosophers and enigmatic volkish groups which blossomed in late ninteenth-early twentieth century middle Europe.
What makes this book worth reading to the student of Modern European History, is not only Goodrick-Clarke's ability to link these movements to Nazi philosophy, but his attention to detail. Further, he carefully explains the historical surroundings and mystical, sometimes ludicrous, beliefs held by members of the various Ariosophical societies.These explanations, coupled with what must have been very tedious research, enlighten these somewhat obscure and often forgotten influences on the NSDAP.
This book is well worth a read. However, its appeal is somewhat limited to those with particular interest in the occult
philosophy sub-genre of Nazi Studies. By no means is it a typical Shirer inspired playscript of the Reich.
