为这个无名之地立传，因为它是理解纳粹在地方层面运作最佳的切入点。
.
小镇上的纳粹分子好像精准地知道该说什么，什么时候说，知道做什么，怎么做，以便赢得大部分镇民的选票。
他们针对一次又一次的选举，精心策划了讲座集会、盛装游行、舞会、军事演习……他们会根据每一次活动的反馈仔细地总结经验，修改下一场活动的安排。

一切，都是为了掌权。

《纳粹掌权：一个德国小镇的经历》展示了纳粹独裁政权如何通过宣传手腕巧妙地超越民主制度，并且夺取权力。威廉•谢里登•阿伦依靠当地报纸、期刊、报告、预算信息、犯罪统计数据、采访当事人以及法律记录，解剖了诺特海姆这个德国小镇，用显微镜般的视角精确地描绘了一个昏睡小镇向纳粹据点的转变。在这一有力的分析中，阿伦认为，以往人们所认为的希特勒在国家层面上掌权的普遍看法是一种误解，与此相反，希特勒如果没有地方上的狂热支持者，第三帝国永远不会出现。阿伦的研究展示了纳粹能够利用尖锐而精细的宣传手段来发掘群众的弱点，因此，这本书不仅仅是对历史的研究，也是对人性的研究。

In 1935, with a doctorate in art history and no prospect of a job, the 26-year-old Ernst Gombrich was invited by a publishing acquaintance to attempt a history of the world for younger readers. Amazingly, he completed the task in an intense six weeks, and Eine kurze Weltgeschichte für junge Leser was published in Vienna to immediate success, and is now available in seventeen languages across the world.
Toward the end of his long life, Gombrich embarked upon a revision and, at last, an English translation. A Little History of the World presents his lively and involving history to English-language readers for the first time. Superbly designed and freshly illustrated, this is a book to be savored and collected.
In forty concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of man from the stone age to the atomic bomb. In between emerges a colorful picture of wars and conquests, grand works of art, and the spread and limitations of science. This is a text dominated not by dates and facts, but by the sweep of mankind’s experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity’s achievements and an acute witness to its frailties.
The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.

In the first authoritative biography of Alexander the Great written for a general audience in a generation, classicist and historian Philip Freeman tells the remarkable life of the great conqueror. The celebrated Macedonian king has been one of the most enduring figures in history. He was a general of such skill and renown that for two thousand years other great leaders studied his strategy and tactics, from Hannibal to Napoleon, with countless more in between. He flashed across the sky of history like a comet, glowing brightly and burning out quickly: crowned at age nineteen, dead by thirty-two. He established the greatest empire of the ancient world; Greek coins and statues are found as far east as Afghanistan. Our interest in him has never faded. Alexander was born into the royal family of Macedonia, the kingdom that would soon rule over Greece. Tutored as a boy by Aristotle, Alexander had an inquisitive mind that would serve him well when he faced formidable obstacles during his military campaigns. Shortly after taking command of the army, he launched an invasion of the Persian empire, and continued his conquests as far south as the deserts of Egypt and as far east as the mountains of present-day Pakistan and the plains of India. Alexander spent nearly all his adult life away from his homeland, and he and his men helped spread the Greek language throughout western Asia, where it would become the lingua franca of the ancient world. Within a short time after Alexander’s death in Baghdad, his empire began to fracture. Best known among his successors are the Ptolemies of Egypt, whose empire lasted until Cleopatra. In his lively and authoritative biography of Alexander, classical scholar and historian Philip Freeman describes Alexander’s astonishing achievements and provides insight into the mercurial character of the great conqueror. Alexander could be petty and magnanimous, cruel and merciful, impulsive and farsighted. Above all, he was ferociously, intensely competitive and could not tolerate losing—which he rarely did. As Freeman explains, without Alexander, the influence of Greece on the ancient world would surely not have been as great as it was, even if his motivation was not to spread Greek culture for beneficial purposes but instead to unify his empire. Only a handful of people have influenced history as Alexander did, which is why he continues to fascinate us.
