Description:

The Hitler Saluteexamines the implications of one of the most recognizable gestures in history. Drawing from newspapers, diaries, photos, and even children's books, Allert explains how a hand movement helped subvert an entire nation. He details how, in conjunction with ubiquitous paraphernalia and propaganda, the Nazi party was able to steer a nation toward genocide, and inject fear into the uncooperative or resistant. Allert's fascinating book is the perfect example of how the smallest of ideas or movements, such as the everyday greeting, can permeate the way a population thinks and acts.
