“Revisiting the Nazi Occult: Histories, Realities, Legacies” edited by Monica Black, Eric Kurlander

Magick Matters

"New collection of essays promising to re-energize the debate on Nazism's occult roots and legacies and thus our understanding of German cultural and intellectual history over the past century.

Bringing together cutting-edge scholarship on the topic, this volume calls for...>>
