Synopsis
Once regarded as one of Britain's leading anthropologists, George Pitt-Rivers departed from the mainstream academic establishment in the 1930s, becoming first involved in the eugenics movement and later in pro-Nazi organisations. Publishing works ranging from academic studies of South Pacific tribes to a book supporting Adolf Hitler's annexation of the Sudetenland, Pitt-Rivers gained international notoriety before the Second World War. In 1937 he attended the Nuremberg Rally and met Hitler, documenting his trip in extensive photographs, and in 1940 he was interned by the British government under Defence Regulation 18B.
This book traces the remarkable career of a man who might have been remembered as one of Britain's leading scientists, but instead became involved in a milieu of far-right figures that would become infamous and end his academic career.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. George Pitt-Rivers began his career as one of Britains most promising young anthropologists, conducting research in the South Pacific and publishing articles in the countrys leading academic journals. With a museum in Oxford bearing his family name, Pitt-Rivers appeared to be on track for a sterling academic career that might even have matched that of his grandfather, one of the most prominent archaeologists of his day.By the early 1930s, however, Pitt-Rivers had turned from his academic work to politics. Writing a series of books attacking international communism and praising the ideas of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler, Pitt-Rivers fell into the circles of the anti-Semitic far right. In 1937 he attended the Nuremberg Rally and personally met Adolf Hitler and other leading Nazis. With the outbreak of war in 1940 Pitt-Rivers was arrested and interned by the British government on the suspicion that he might harm the war effort by publicly sharing his views, effectively ending his academic career.This book traces the remarkable career of a man who might have been remembered as one of Britain's leading 20th century anthropologists but instead became involved in a far-right milieu that would result in his professional ruin and the relegation of most of his research to margins of scientific history. At the same time, his wider legacy would persist far beyond the academic sphere and can be found to the present day. This item is printed on demand.
