Der Krieg gegen den Westen
Wolfgang Bialas, Aurel Kolnai
This edition of Aurel Kolnai’s War against the West (1938) brings one of the first English-language critiques of Nazi ideology to a German-speaking audience interested in contemporary approaches to critically examining Nazism. Kolnai’s main goal was to warn the Western world that Nazism threatened its core and its way of life. He accomplished this in his discussion of the basic elements of Nazi ideology, such as anti-Semitism, racial nationalism, and the anti-liberal concept of a people’s community (Volksgemeinschaft), which, in his view, amounted to replacing Christianity with the political religion of race.
