Resistance against the Third Reich, 1933-1990

"The history of resistance affords a powerful example of why the present should try to remember a more distant, early modern past" write Michael Geyer and John W. Boyer in their introduction to Resistance against the Third Reich. Addressing the legacy of European resistance, this volume examines the nature of political opposition to unjust rule, which is so often grounded in the bitter conflicts between church and state. This collection is a timely effort to link recent advances in European history with lingering questions concerning resistance against the Third Reich.

Jeanrond, "From Resistance to Liberation Theology: German Theologians and the Non/Resistance to the National Socialist Regime"; Tony Judt, "'We Have Discovered History': Defeat, Resistance, and the Intellectuals in France"; Claudia Koonz, "Ethical Dilemmas and Nazi Eugenics: Single-Issue Dissent in Religious Contexts"; Hans Mommsen, "The German Resistance against Hitler and the Restoration of Politics"; Frank Trommler, "Between Normality and Resistance: Catastrophic Gradualism in Nazi Germany"; and others.
