Michael Moynihan talks with Cambridge historian Brendan Simms about his biography Hitler: A Global Biography.
Simms dismantles the WWII revisionism currently popular on social media: The idea that Churchjill was the war's true antagonist. Simms explains why Hitler declared war on the U.S., his obsession with German emigration to the United States, and how Nazi ideology was fueled by a deep-seated hatred of international capitalism.
Hitler: A Global Biography is available here.
Brendan Simms is Director of the Centre for Geopolitics at University of Cambridge and a prolific author on European geopolitics, past and present, and his principal interests are the German Question, Britain and Europe, Hitler’s global anti-semitism, Humanitarian Intervention and state construction.
