Fuhrer-Ex: Memoirs of a Former Neo-Nazi
Random House, 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. ISBN: 0679438254. Off white hardcovers with black cloth spine covering, gilt titles to the spine. Pages are tight, clean & unmarked, light wear to the spine ends. Overall Very Good++. The DJ is unclipped and in Very Good condition with two small tears to the spine end top and cover edgewear. "Ingo Hasselbach was born in East Germany in 1968, the only child of actively Communist parents. He grew up despising the rules they lived by, and hating the state. He fell in with a group of skinheads and became involved in casual violence as an expression of loneliness and contempt. In 1987 he was sent to prison for shouting "The wall must fall" in a public place. On release, he began working for a secret militant group opposed to the government, and when the government fell he opened up contact with an international network or neo-Nazis and racist movements, and began building up caches of weapons and starting paramilitary camps. He left the movement after the fatal bombing of a Turkish family in 1992 - an attack which killed two young girls and their grandmother. Although his group was not responsible for the attack, he realised the real potential of their rhetoric. Ingo Hasselbach is now a reformed man, and bitterly regrets his own involvement in the right-wing militia." ; 9.30 X 6.30 X 1.30 inches; 388 pages. Very Good+ .

A sound binding with bright, unmarked the DJ is unclipped and in Fine condition. "Will all the adulterers in the room please stand up?" So begins Laura Kipnis's profoundly provocative and waggish inquiry into our never-ending quest for lasting love, and its attendant issues of fidelity and betrayal. In the tradition of social critiques such as Christopher Lasch's "The Culture of Narcissism," "Against Love" keenly examines the meaning and cultural significance of adultery, arguing that perhaps the question concerns not only the private dilemma of whether or not to be faithful, but also the purpose of this much vaunted fidelity." ; 8.7 X 5.8 X 0.9 inches; 224 pages.

Some traitors were ideological converts who simply wrote autobiographical accounts of their experiences, thereby exposing corruption and totalitarianism. Others deliberately set out to inflict maximum damage in order to destabilize an odious system or organization. Some so-called traitors include German patriots who fled the Nazis, or Soviet intelligence personnel who defected to the West." ; 9.3 X 5.9 X 1.7 inches; 576 pages. Fine+ in Fine dust jacket .
