A specialist in propaganda, Welch (modern history, U. of Kent- Canterbury) examines Nazi film propaganda as a reflection of National Socialist ideology. He argues that though Nazism is of thought of as a temporary aberration, it in fact drew on the lkisch/> tradition, a product of 18th-century Romanticism. It is expressions of that tradition that he seeks in the films. The 1983 edition was published by Oxford University Press. Distributed in the US by St. Martin's Press. Annotation c.
