The author shares 40 years of soul searching in the aftermath of Germany's total defeat and destruction.

More than thirty years after his first investigation of the Nazi underground Peter Levenda has returned again and again to his quest for the truth about the true character of the Nazi cult and the people and political movements it has influenced in the decades since the end of World War II. The wide sweep of this investigation moves from a Ku Klux Klan headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania to the New York City office of the Palestine Liberation Organization; from the apartment of a notorious neo-Nazi leader to an Islamic boarding school—headquarters of the man who ordered the Bali Bombings. When Levenda uncovered the existence of a Nazi underworld in Asia, the nexus of religion, politics, terrorism and occult beliefs was revealed to be the real domain of the threat to global security. Meticulously researched—from both archival material and declassified intelligence agency files, to personal interviews and investigations undertaken in Asia, Europe and Latin America—The Hitler Legacy is the story of how the mistakes of the 20th century have come home to roost in the 21st. This book will challenge the conventional thinking about such subjects as the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamist terrorism and even about the alleged death of one of history's most infamous killers—Adolf Hitler.

This work of historical fiction is written as a series of dialogues from the stand point of both supporters and survivors of the Nazi party after the events of WWII. In it, Joe Appel works to bring a human picture of the motivations and consequences of that often de-humanized era. Rather than looking at historical documents in the cold light of reason, this book portrays the circumstances as they would have been experienced in the eyes of the people involved. The debates between the interviewer and the historical figures are often heated and penetrating. It is Joe's hope that these dialogues will bring life to these characters, characters so often framed in black and white. Only through the living experience of those involved can the motives behind the Nazi party be explored, exposed, and resolved.

In spring 1945, as the Russians moved on Berlin and it became clear the Nazi cause was lost, Adolf Hitler assured his most trusted henchmen that even if he were to die, the seed of National Socialism will grow again one day [in] ... a radiant rebirth. Several times after the war, the distinguished author Peter Wyden, himself a victim of the Nazis, returned to Germany to discover, to his dismay, that Hitler's prediction was all too true. In these unsettling pages, Wyden documents the reality that the Hitler virus is still very much alive. A harrowing companion to Daniel Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners, this book is Wyden's legacy to the world.
