 Amazon.com: The Third Reich: A New History: Books: Michael Burleigh   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Burleigh, professor of history at Washington and Lee University and author of several books on Germany, focuses on the moral breakdown that gave Hitler control of an industrial society, which then, along with the rest of the world, suffered the catastrophic consequences.
However, the book is not without flaws: Burleigh's prejudices toward conservatives lead him to write of the feckless German officers as more heroic than they were and to sneer at the left-wing opponents of the Nazi regime who suffered far more in their struggle.
Burleigh writes with convincing authority about the ways in which the secular religion of fascism is sold to the German people, wrapped in the cloak of tradition, folklore, and mysticism.

 Chamber Music Plus' salute to composer features Gossett | www.azstarnet.com ®
Burleigh introduced the Czechoslovakian composer to those rich spirituals, and Dvorák encouraged his understudy to write arrangements for those ageless songs and give them to the world.
Burleigh, who was born in 1866, spent his life quietly fulfilling that mission, composing some 200 original songs and arranging the melodies to such gems as "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," "Deep River" and "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen." He died in 1949.
Aside from the occasional name-dropping in history books, Burleigh's influence on Dvorák is largely unknown, even in musical circles, said Chamber Music Plus' Harry Clark, whose musical portrait of Burleigh will be performed by Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett Jr.
