      By Walker, Martin, 1947-
       c2008., Adult, HarperCollins Call No: MYS Fic Wal    Availability:0 of 1     At Your Library Series Title: Bruno mysteries   Volume: 1Summary Note: "A wonderful new series that follows the exploits of Benoît Courrèges, affectionately nicknamed Bruno, the chief of police in a small French village in the South of France where the rituals of the café still rule. Meet Bruno, a former soldier who has of late embraced the slow rhythms of country life - his restored farmhouse, the weekly market, sparring with (and basically ignoring) the European Union bureaucrats from Brussels. But the murder of an elderly North African who fought in the French army galvanizes Bruno's attention: the man was found with a swastika carved into his chest. Bruno immediately suspects militants from the anti-immigrant National Front, and is soon aided by a young policewoman sent from Paris because of the potential political ramifications. But when a visiting scholar helps untangle the dead man's past, Bruno's suspicions soon turn toward a more complex motive than mere hate, back to a tortured period of French history - World War II, when the Vichy government turned on its own citizens to help the Germans wage war. It was a time of terror and betrayal that set brother against brother, a time that cast a shadow that reaches even to Bruno's seemingly perfect corner of la belle France."--Publisher.

      -- Hollywood's pact with Hitler
      By Urwand, Ben, 1977-
       2013., Adult, The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press Call No: 791.43 U72c    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: To continue doing business in Germany after Hitler's ascent to power, Hollywood studios agreed not to make films that attacked the Nazis or condemned Germany's persecution of Jews. Ben Urwand reveals this bargain for the first time--a "collaboration" (Zusammenarbeit) that drew in a cast of characters ranging from notorious German political leaders such as Goebbels to Hollywood icons such as Louis B. Mayer.

      -- Adolf Hitler :
      By Ullrich, Volker, 1943-
       2016., General, Alfred A. Knopf Call No: Bio H674u   Edition: first American edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: A comprehensive new biography of Hitler focusing on the dictator's personality. The historical significance of Adolf Hitler has overshadowed the man behind the public persona. For decades, misconceptions about Hitler have percolated, but to cast Hitler as purely a psychopathic monster is to ignore the facets of his personality that help explain his enigmatic hold on the German populace. Ullrich recounts Hitler's personal journey from childhood to his consolidation of political power, and in doing so captures Hitler's canniness, instinctive grasp of politics, and gift for oratory as well as his megalomania, deep insecurity, and repulsive worldview.

      By Hart, Bradley W  Ciulla, Chris
       2018., 11:15:22, Macmillan Audio Edition: Unabridged.    Click to access digital title.     Summary Note: Hitler's American Friends by Bradley W. Hart is an audiobook examining the strange terrain of Nazi sympathizers, nonintervention campaigners and other voices in America who advocated on behalf of Nazi Germany in the years before World War II. Americans who remember World War II reminisce about how it brought the country together. The less popular truth behind this warm nostalgia: until the attack on Pearl Harbor, America was deeply, dangerously divided. Bradley W. Hart's Hitler's American Friends exposes the homegrown antagonists who sought to protect and promote Hitler, leave Europeans (and especially European Jews) to fend for themselves, and elevate the Nazi regime. Some of these friends were Americans of German heritage who joined the Bund, whose leadership dreamed of installing a stateside Führer. Some were as bizarre and hair-raising as the Silver Shirt Legion, run by an eccentric who claimed that Hitler fulfilled a religious prophesy. Some were Midwestern Catholics like Father Charles Coughlin, an early right-wing radio star who broadcast anti-Semitic tirades. They were even members of Congress who used their franking privilege—sending mail at cost to American taxpayers—to distribute German propaganda. And celebrity pilot Charles Lindbergh ended up speaking for them all at the America First Committee. We try to tell ourselves it couldn't happen here, but Americans are not immune to the lure of fascism. Hitler's American Friends is a powerful look at how the forces of evil manipulate ordinary people, how we stepped back from the ledge, and the disturbing ease with which we could return to it.

      -- Pearl Harbor and Germany's march to global war.
      By Simms, Brendan  Laderman, Charlie
       2021., Adult, Basic Books Call No: NEW 940.53 S592h   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: By early December 1941, war and genocide had changed Europe beyond recognition. Nazi Germany had occupied most of the continent and opened concentration camps, while millions of soldiers had died on the front. In Asia, the outbreak of the Second Sino-Japanese War had turned mainland China into a battleground and the Pacific Islands into an armed camp. Still, these far-off conflicts were not yet inextricably linked, and the greatest power the world had yet seen, the United States, was at peace. Hitler's American Gamble explores the five critical days that changed everything: December 7th-11th, from Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor to Hitler's declaration of war on the United States. Historians have conventionally believed that Japan's pre-emptive strike led inexorably to the German-U.S. war and the outbreak of a truly global conflict. Tracing diplomatic and strategic developments in real time, historians Brendan Simms and Charlie Laderman reveal how in fact an American declaration of war against Germany was far from inevitable. Roosevelt faced a Congress and country unwilling to break with the isolationism it had embraced at the end of World War I. The outbreak of an expensive Pacific war with Japan on December 7th failed to convince many Americans that the nation should also intervene in Europe, despite the fervent hopes of Allied leaders and the Roosevelt administration. Only with Hitler's intervention on December 11th was the United States irrevocably roped into war with Germany. This was not the foolhardy decision of a man so bloodthirsty he forgot all sense of strategy, but a decision Hitler took rationally and a gamble that made sense for Germany, even as it expanded its theatre of war. Backed by deep archival research, Hitler's American Gamble revises our understanding of World War II, uncovering the rationale behind Hitler's greatest strategic error and offering a new perspective on America's rise to global power.

      By MacNeal, Susan Elia  Hewitt, Caroline
       2022., 11:57:37, Random House Audio Edition: Unabridged.    Click to access digital title.    Sample Summary Note: A mother and daughter find the courage to go undercover after stumbling upon a Nazi cell in Los Angeles during the early days of World War II—a tantalizing novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Maggie Hope series “A stirring standalone thriller . . . Susan Elia MacNeal’s page-turning prose is as entertaining as ever—I was riveted from beginning to end.”—Kate Quinn, author of The Alice Network June 1940. France has fallen to the Nazis, and Britain may be next—but to many Americans, the war is something happening “over there.” Veronica Grace has just graduated from college; she and her mother, Violet, are looking for a fresh start in sunny Los Angeles. After a blunder cost her a prestigious career opportunity in New York, Veronica is relieved to take a typing job in L.A.—only to realize that she’s working for one of the area’s most vicious propagandists. Overnight, Veronica is exposed to the dark underbelly of her new home, where German Nazis are recruiting Americans for their devastating campaign. After the FBI dismisses the Graces’ concerns, Veronica and Violet decide to call on an old friend, who introduces them to L.A.’s anti-Nazi spymaster. At once, the women go undercover to gather enough information about the California Reich to take to the authorities. But as the news of Pearl Harbor ripples through the United States, and President Roosevelt declares war, the Grace women realize that the plots they’re investigating are far more sinister than they feared—and even a single misstep could cost them everything. Inspired by the real mother-daughter spy duo who foiled Nazi plots in Los Angeles during WWII, Mother Daughter Traitor Spy is a powerful portrait of family, duty, and deception that raises timeless questions about America—and what it means to have courage in the face of terror.
