	"The Secret Parts of Fortune" by Ron Rosenbaum - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Ron Rosenbaum, a longtime contributor to the higher echelons of American magazines, and whose Edgy Enthusiast column appears in the New York Observer, has been settled on this perch for the bulk of his 25-year career in journalism.
		Rosenbaum doesn't help himself with his 42-page introduction, in which he attempts to provide a cap of narrative consistency to some 27 article-essays written over nearly 30 years.
		Rosenbaum, however, plays to his strengths as a sort of journalist on time delay, and there are plenty of fresh insights to be found within his selective retrospective history of our times.

	Fictionwise eBooks: The Secret Parts of Fortune: Three Decades of Intense Investigations and Edgy Enthusiasms by Ron ...
		Ron Rosenbaum is one of the great masters of the metaphysical detective story, a nonfiction writer in the spirit of Borges, Nabokov, and Poe.
		Ron provides a clue to his attitude in his metaphor of the lost safe-deposit box, a metaphor for truth that exists but that may be beyond our grasp.
		Ron's labyrinth is a labyrinth of theories, evidence, interpretations, and misconceptions--but it has a center, if not some ultimate truth then a sliver of it, a standpoint from which one can at least decide what the untruths are.

	Reading Group Guide \| EXPLAINING HITLER by Ron Rosenbaum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Rosenbaum acknowledges early on that a consensus can never be reached about why Hitler orchestrated the Holocaust (or even, in the minds of some scholars, if he did) because key historical evidence is either missing, was destroyed, or never existed.
		Rosenbaum wades through long-debated speculations of the origins of Hitler's anti-Semitism, including the notion that Hitler had a Jewish grandfather or that he held an irrational, if monumental grudge against all Jews because of some transgression, real or imagined, in his youth.
		Rosenbaum looks at theories that view Hitler as a flmailing hood, resurrecting the mostly forgotten history of a courageous band of Munich-based journalists, the "Poison Kitchen," who tried to expose Hitler's venal intentions and scandalous involvement before he rose to power in the early 1930s.

	PW: Ron Rosenbaum: The Quest for Hitler - 7/13/1998 - Publishers Weekly
		In nearly 30 years as a magazine journalist, Ron Rosenbaum has made something of a specialty of sketching whole universes of obsession in 10,000 to 15,000 words.
		In the meantime, Rosenbaum continued his steady migration from newsprint to the glossy pages of Harper's, The New Republic and the short-lived Manhattan, inc., for whom he began an unlikely series of power-lunch profiles of the rich and famous.
		Rosenbaum's long journey into the bottomless Hitler mystery began in 1982, when his father mentioned out of the blue a French cousin who had died in the Holocaust.

	'Explaining Hitler' by Ron Rosenbaum
		Rosenbaum’s research took him around the world for meetings with a mixed bunch of academics, auteurs and amateurs.
		Rosenbaum proves to be a skilled guide, able to explain subtle arguments, to set a memorable scene and to capture character with a quotation or a short anecdote.
		Rosenbaum explores and then rejects the argument that Hitler was terrified of the possibility that he might have had a Jewish grandfather and “tainted” blood.

	CNN - Ron Rosenbaum's latest feat: 'Explaining Hitler' - July 16, 1998
		ATLANTA (CNN) -- When Ron Rosenbaum was younger, he seldom considered his Jewish ancestry in connection with the Holocaust.
		Rosenbaum realized that a half-century removed from the murders of millions of Jews, we were no closer to realizing what made the man who was responsible for it tick.
		Rosenbaum takes the information we have on Hitler from a new angle, questioning not only the legitimacy of each theory, but trying to understand the perspective of the person from which the theory derives.

		Rosenbaum's third collection of articles and essays (he's "The Edgy Enthusiast" columnist for the New York Observer) shows again that he is one of our most original writers of nonfiction.
		Rosenbaum is a fine writer, improving continuously as this collection shows (and he started at a very high level), and I'll be looking for his magazine pieces from now on.
		Ron Rosenbaum got a lot of attention a couple of years ago with his amazing book "Explaining Hitler", which was about all the different theories people have come up with to account for that figure's almost overwhelming evil.

	Amazon.com: Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil: Books: Ron Rosenbaum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Rosenbaum's approach is excellent, pairing individuals with complementary or opposing viewpoints, e.g., Lanzmann and Dr. Micheels, the theologian Emil Fackenheim and the atheist historian Yehuda Bauer in "The Temptation to Blame God." Even revisionist David Irving is given a chapter.
		Rosenbaum saves what seems to be his preference for the last chapter-Lucy Dawidowicz's belief that Hitler decided on The Final Solution as early as 1918, based on what he said and did not say over time, and on the "laughter" that is transferred from the Jewish victims to the Nazi victors.
		Rosenbaum's real quest: to try to locate the cause of the holocaust in the aberrant brain of a single evil person, seems a vain, superfluous and somewhat theoretically misguided quest.

	2blowhards.com: Free Reads -- Ron Rosenbaum
		Ron Rosenbaum grew up reading The Nation, but these days he's feeling pretty disenchanted with the Left.
		He writes as though you are already party to his views, as though the simple act of Ron Rosenbaum trashing Gore Vidal or Pete Seeger, or extolling Chris Hitchens is enough.
		On the plus side, writers of Rosenbaum's caliber will only ever "preach to the choir." Rosenbaum is a literary Rush Limbaugh.

	The New New Journalism \| By Robert S. Boynton
		Ron Rosenbaum was born in Manhattan on November 27, 1946.
		Rosenbaum's first jobs in journalism were covering the 1968 Democratic convention for the Suffolk Sun, and then as an assistant editor at the Fire Island News.
		Rosenbaum was initially hesitant to join the magazine (after all, his usual beat was obsessive outsiders) but was persuaded by editor Jane Amsterdam.

		In this engaging work of literary journalism, Ron Rosenbaum travels the world to converse with some of the historians, philosophers, filmmakers, and others who have attempted to make sense of Hitler's actions, to find a root cause for the Holocaust.
		Rosenbaum methodically examines the evidence for and against all the major hypotheses concerning the origin of Hitler's character.
		But Rosenbaum's portrayals of those who would define Hitler are as fascinating as the shifting perspectives on the führer.

	Amazon.ca: Those Who Forget the Past: the Question of Anti-Semitism: Books (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Rosenbaum's outstanding compilation of nearly 50 sharp essays has the advantage of not only displaying a wide range of views but juxtaposing pieces in debate with one another.
		Rosenbaum is also attuned to new aspects of old issues: "The Greatest Story Ever Sold" presents Frank Rich's thoughts on the controversy surrounding Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, while in "Who Did Kill Christ?" Nat Hentoff describes Christian rightists' ongoing promotion of the charge of deicide against the Jews.
		The book opens with an illuminating introduction by Ron Rosenbaum and concludes with an afterword by Cynthia Ozick in which she observes that the new Anti-Semitism proceeds in the guise of Anti-Zionism and through the abuse of the language of human rights.

	Blogcritics.org: Fleeing The Left: Ron Rosenbaum's Fascinating Article
		Rosenbaum is looking for the liberal ideology of old; the kind embodied in people such as FDR, or even Zell Miller who recently published a book entitled A National Party No More, which, in part, also critisizes his party's embrace of leftist ideology poisoned with neo-Marxist influences.
		Unfortunately for Zell Miller, Ron Rosenbaum, and others, it seems that their view of liberalism in general and the Democratic Party in particular is a shrinking minority viewpoint.
		Rather, I enjoy engaging with the Ron Rosenbaums of the world, whose view of the world is WAY different from mine but with whom I still have some points of agreement and other points that we can debate.

	Explaining Hitler by Ron Rosenbaum, book reviewed by Dean Rink
		These are the base questions that Ron Rosenbaum addresses in his Roshomon-like book, which does not examine Hitler and his history directly, but instead compares and contrasts the varied and sundry explanations that have been offered by contemporary historical analysts.
		Rosenbaum presents the reader with twenty chapters, each an independently-standing essay on that particular Hitler explainer.
		Rosenbaum then describes a group of scholars who seek to explain Hitler through discovery of his sexual inadequacy.

		Rosenbaum considers the fascinating "possibility that Philby had been not a Soviet double agent but a British triple agent." And there's so much more.
