In the Name of the Volk: Political Justice in Hitler's Germany (Hardcover)

Corporatism = fascism = corporatism = fascism = etc, etc

In the Name of the Volk: Political Justice in Hitler's Germany (Hardcover):

"Comparisons of Bushevism to the Third Reich are met with scorn and derision by the 'conventional wisdom' wing of the media -- and even many liberals. It's clearly too explosive an analogy for most Americans to handle without believing it is extremist to put Bush and Hitler in the same sentence.

However, in reading the now classic 'In the Name of the Volk: Political Justice in Hitler's Germany,' it is difficult to escape parallels between where Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft, Gonzales and Scalia have been pushing the American legal system and what happened to the official German legal system under the Third Reich. That comparison may rattle a lot of people, but in reading this studiously researched book, it's hard to avoid thinking about the two in relationship to each other.

'In the Name of the Volk' (which means 'the people') is a very focused, straightforward analysis of how the German legal system became an extension of the executive branch and the one-party government.

Its scholarly tone doesn't in anyway undermine the fact that is quite a frightening book to read, as the Bush Administration assault on our legal system continues at full speed ahead.
