A history of alternative histories. What if the Nazis had triumphed in World War II? What if Hitler had escaped Berlin for the Jungles of Latin America in 1945? What if Hitler had become a successful artist instead of a politician? This pioneering study explores why such counterfactual questions on the subject of Nazism have proliferated in recent years within Western popular culture. Black cloth boards, gilt title to spine.
