Bruce Campbell offers the first in-depth study in English of the men who held the three highest ranks in the SA. Organized on military lines and fired by radical nationalism, the Brown Shirts saw themselves as Germany's paramilitary saviors. Campbell reveals that the homogeneity of the SA leadership was based not on class or status, but on common experiences and training. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike other investigations of the Nazi party, \u003ci\u003eThe SA Generals and the Rise of Nazism\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the military and political activities of the Brown Shirts to show how they developed into SA Leaders. By tracing the activities, both individual and collective, of these men's adult lives through 1945, Campbell shows where members acquired the experience necessary to build, lead, and administer the SA. These men were instrumental in creating the Nazi concept of \"political soldiering,\" combining military organization with political activism. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCampbell's enlightening portrait of the SA, its history, and its relationship to the overall Nazi movement reveals how the organization's leaders reshaped the SA over time to adapt to Germany's changing political concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.64w x 0.73d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813190983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBruce Campbell \u003c\/b\u003eis an independent scholar and visiting professor of history at Old Dominion University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40412484763763,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":44.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_0fd8c58b-e02c-4c88-8f6a-5de2f731de21.jpg?v=1662127352","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-sa-generals-and-the-rise-of-nazism-9780813190983","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
