Fifteen years ago, revelations about the political misdeeds of Martin Heidegger and Paul de Man sent shock waves throughout European and North American intellectual circles. Ever since, postmodernism has been haunted by the specter of a compromised past. In this intellectual genealogy of the postmodern spirit, Richard Wolin shows that postmodernism's infatuation with fascism has been widespread and not incidental. He calls into question postmodernism's claim to have inherited the mantle of the left--and suggests that postmodern thought has long been smitten with the opposite end of the political spectrum. In probing chapters on C. G. Jung, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Georges Bataille, and Maurice Blanchot, Wolin discovers an unsettling commonality: during the 1930's, these thinkers leaned to the right and were tainted by a proverbial "fascination with fascism." Frustrated by democracy's shortcomings, they were seduced by fascism's grandiose promises of political regeneration. The dictatorships in Italy and Germany promised redemption from the uncertainties of political liberalism. But, from the beginning, there could be no doubting their brutal methods of racism, violence, and imperial conquest. Postmodernism's origins among the profascist literati of the 1930's reveal a dark political patrimony. The unspoken affinities between Counter-Enlightenment and postmodernism constitute the guiding thread of Wolin's suggestive narrative. In their mutual hostility toward reason and democracy, postmodernists and the advocates of Counter-Enlightenment betray a telltale strategic alliance--they cohabit the fraught terrain where far left and far right intersect. Those who take Wolin's conclusions to heart will never view the history of modern thought in quite the same way.

Die Armia Krajowa war im Zweiten Weltkrieg die zentrale Trägerin des bewaffneten Widerstandes im polnischen Untergrundstaat. Sie wurde von der polnischen Exilregierung in London gelenkt und 1944 von der Roten Armee gewaltsam aufgelöst. Der Sammelband bietet eine umfassende Darstellung der polnischen Heimatarmee seit 1939 und des schwierigen Umganges mit ihrer Geschichte. Vor dem Hintergrund der komplizierten ethnischen und territorialen Gemengelage in der Region werden neben dem internationalen Forschungsstand auch aktuelle Diskussionen in Polen, Deutschland und den Nachfolgestaaten der UdSSR transparent.
