Reviews
"There is no greater authority on the culture of the Nazi period than Michael Kater, and his latest, most ambitious work gives a comprehensive overview of a dismally complex history, astonishing in its breadth of knowledge and acute in its critical perceptions."--Alex Ross, music critic at The New Yorker and author of The Rest is Noise, "Absorbing, chilling study of German artistic life under Hitler"--Max Hastings, The Sunday Times "A much-needed study of the aesthetics and cultural mores of the Third Reich, with often surprising turns . . . in a narrative rich in detail and documentation. . . . 'The relation between culture and tyranny is a complex one,' Kater concludes. Indeed, and his book does much to make it comprehensible."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "Kater's work is strongest where it uncovers the suppressed histories of primary sources and archival material. There is a subtlety and sensitivity of scholarship here, which Kater presents with contemporary urgency. While the book is about the past, it prompts us to ask what the archival evidence of tomorrow will reveal about our actions today."--Marlo Alexandra Burks, Literary Review of Canada "Kater's book is a grim but necessary chronicle of the 12-year Third Reich as seen through the culture it destroyed . . . and the culture it then produced to replace it. . . . A nation's citizens are, collectively, the one and final bulwark against fascism. It's worth thinking about all over again in 2019."--Alan Bisbort, Waterbury Republican-American "Kater has gathered the crucial facts of [the] era in his richly detailed new book, Culture in Nazi Germany . . . . At the end of this sad, tragic story, he predicts that it will 'take decades of cleansing and reconstruction to prepare the ground for a complete cultural rebirth.' That much-needed process is still under way."--Robert Fulford, National Post "There is no greater authority on the culture of the Nazi period than Michael Kater, and his latest, most ambitious work gives a comprehensive overview of a dismally complex history, astonishing in its breadth of knowledge and acute in its critical perceptions."--Alex Ross, music critic at The New Yorker and author of The Rest is Noise, "Absorbing, chilling study of German artistic life under Hitler"--Max Hastings, The Sunday Times "A much-needed study of the aesthetics and cultural mores of the Third Reich, with often surprising turns . . . in a narrative rich in detail and documentation. . . .

Filled to the rafters with a vast gallery of colorful individuals, including those who were attacked and driven off, those who scurried after new opportunities, and those who negotiated compromises in order to protect their careers. The assembly of this gallery in all its nuance is the author's great accomplishment."--Peter Fritzsche, American Historical Review Named to Choice 's Outstanding Academic Titles List for 2019 Winner of the Jewish Literary Award in Scholarship, sponsored by the Canadian Jewish Literary Awards "There is no greater authority on the culture of the Nazi period than Michael Kater, and his latest, most ambitious work gives a comprehensive overview of a dismally complex history, astonishing in its breadth of knowledge and acute in its critical perceptions."--Alex Ross, music critic at the New Yorker and author of The Rest Is Noise, "Absorbing, chilling study of German artistic life under Hitler"--Max Hastings, The Sunday Times "A much-needed study of the aesthetics and cultural mores of the Third Reich, with often surprising turns . . . in a narrative rich in detail and documentation. . . .

Synopsis
A fresh and insightful history of how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed under the Nazis, A fresh and insightful history of how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed under the Nazis Culture was integral to the smooth running of the Third Reich. In the years preceding WWII, a wide variety of artistic forms were used to instill a Nazi ideology in the German people and to manipulate the public perception of Hitler's enemies. During the war, the arts were closely tied to the propaganda machine that promoted the cause of Germany's military campaigns. Michael H. Kater's engaging and deeply researched account of artistic culture within Nazi Germany considers how the German arts-and-letters scene was transformed when the Nazis came to power. With a broad purview that ranges widely across music, literature, film, theater, the press, and visual arts, Kater details the struggle between creative autonomy and political control as he looks at what became of German artists and their work both during and subsequent to Nazi rule.
