David Motadel - Islam and Nazi Germany's War (2014) [epub] (Size: 2.54 MB)
Description In the most crucial phase of the Second World War, German troops, fighting in regions as far apart as the Sahara and the Caucasus, confronted the Allies across lands largely populated by Muslims. Nazi officials saw Islam as a powerful force with the same enemies as Germany: the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. Islam and Nazi Germany’s War is the first comprehensive account of Berlin’s remarkably ambitious attempts to build an alliance with the Islamic world. A comprehensive and discerning history… Refreshes our understanding of Nazi Germany’s involvement with the Middle East and the wider Muslim world… Motadel offers a portrait of continuity in the West’s strategies for mobilizing Islam in wartime or for using Islam for its geopolitical ends—a history, on the whole, of continual failure… A sophisticated narrative. —Steve Coll, The New York Review of Books Sharing Widget |
