Review

Schoenbaum's thesis--that German society committed suicide by concurrently using the means of industrial society to achieve its goal of destroying industrial society . . . constitutes an interpretation of major historiographical significance.

Valuable and impressive. . . . A genuinely new contribution to historical understanding.
