"Super-Gangster Nation"

The year: 1945. The month: January. Things were still pretty shitty for folks all over the world but especially for those unlucky enough to live under Hitler's nut-ball rule. The fact is, everyone knew what a lunatic he was and what he was up to. In this little piece of history from The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Thomas Lamont writes an essay about just how wrong Germany was and how it, along with Japan, acted as a "super-gangster nation."

A fascinating read. See if your library has a copy.
