More than a century later, Ben Macintyre tracked down the survivors of Nueva Germania to discover the remains of this bizarre colony, and found a strange, tight-lipped people, still interbreeding to the point of genetic deterioration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDigging into recently opened German archives, Macintyre unfolds how Elisabeth, who returned to Germany in 1893, grafted her anti-Semitic, nationalist ideas onto her brother's philosophy, building a mythic cult around him, and how she later became a mentor to Hitler--her stately funeral in 1935 attended by a tearful F hrer. Laced with mordant irony, Macintyre's brilliant piece of investigative journalism explores how the Nazis perverted Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas to justify their evil deeds, and unearths a rich and disturbing vein of the twentieth century's dark history.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49579946246417,"sku":"GOR003704152","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49796134568209,"sku":"CIN0307886441A","price":5.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50412519850257,"sku":"CIN0307886441G","price":9.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51000773607697,"sku":"NIN9780307886446","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423517409553,"sku":"CIN0307886441VG","price":7.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0307886441.jpg?v=1751195623","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/forgotten-fatherland-book-ben-macintyre-9780307886446","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
