In its determination to take absolute control; the Third Reich focused on the nation's youth; reserving for the schools the vital task of refashioning the German psyche. This book examines these propaganda efforts--one of the most radical and far-reaching experiments in educational history. The book focuses on the manipulation of the German past; one of the primary means of state intervention to ensure the triumph of the racial idea in history. It shows how textbooks written by National Socialists equalled or exceeded the most imaginative fiction; with an itinerary that extended from Valhalla and the Germania of Tacitus to the Prussia of Frederick the Great; before mounting to the pinnacle represented by the Third Reich. The primary source materials for this study consist of a broad; representative collection of history textbooks; primers; and books of readings containing historical instruction.

His Own Words; the Way he wanted them!By Tony ThomasThis book of Malcolm X's Speeches was begun while Malcolm was alive with the publisher and the editor that Malcolm selected; and speeches he wanted in the book. This begins the series of books by Malcolm X published by Pathfinder Press in collaboration with his family as more speeches; interviews; and talks by Malcolm X have been discovered. The aim here is to put Malcolm X's words first. Read them for yourself. Find out why Malcolm was a reasoned; passionate; but uncompromising opponent of US imperialism's wars against oppressed peoples; in Africa; in Vietnam; in the Mid-East. Malcolm can really inspire you about the fights we need.While this book is not always available on ; it is always available from BooksfromPathfinder; an Z store that you can get to by clicking on New and Used further up this page!
