The SA Generals and the Rise of the Nazis, by Bruce Campbell
Lexington, Ky.: University Press of Kentucky, 1998. ix, 278 pp. Illus, append, glossary, notes, bibliog., index. . ISBN:0-8131-2047-0.
The author uses the 178 men who ranked as generals in the Sturm Abteilung, the infamous �Brown Shirts,� to tell not only how this violent paramilitary organization was not only essential to Hitler�s rise to power, but also how he so unceremoniously and effectively thrust it aside once he attained supremacy. The work is full of useful looks at some of the lesser-known Nazi leaders, and provides some valuable insights into some obscurer corners of the history of the Nazi movement.
