Book Synopsis
"A Dubious Past deepens our understanding of a talented and troubling writer. An important and most valuable study, this book contains a great deal of new material and much trenchant interpretation. Neaman explores uncharted territory in German and European intellectual history and makes an important contribution to ongoing efforts to map its continuities and discontinuities before and after 1945."—Jeffrey Herf, Ohio University
