Dan Weimer's 2011 publication, Seeing Drugs: Modernization, Counterinsurgency and U.S. Narcotics Control in the Third World, 1969-1976, was followed in 2012 by Nazi Policy on the Eastern Front, 1941: Total War, Genocide and Radicalization, co-edited by Wheeling Jesuit University's Assistant Professor Jeff Rutherford. The latter book was just released in paperback this month.The three editors -- in addition to Rutherford, the Frankfurt, Germany-based independent historian Alex J. Kay and David Stahel, lecturer at the University New South Wales Canberra, Australia -- first conceived of the volume at the Society for Military History's 2007 conference both as a means to introduce current research trends in Germany to an English-language audience and as a means of providing an examination of the pivotal year of 1941.
