THE NAZI ELITE by Daniel Lerner with the collaboration of Ithiel de Sola Pool and George K. Schueller Introduction by Franz L. NeumannThe Nazi movement was in many ways a laboratory model of ominous forces which continue to appear in many parts of the world. Violent movements of reaction which challenge the values of our liberal heritage appear again and again in much the same form. It is therefore important to study, as Mr. Lerner has done, the dynamics of the strongest of such movements. Who were the Nazi leaders? What was their relation to the established and respected elite of the old society? Were they upstart revolutionists or did they represent the vested interests? How did the propagandists, the policemen, the army, and the ad- ministrators get along together? It is to such questions that Mr. Lerner has addressed himself in this study of the Nazi elite.HOOVER INSTITUTE STUDIES Series B: Elite Studies, No. 3 August 1951 THE NAZI ELITE by Daniel Lerner with the collaboration of Ithiel de Sola Pool and George K.
