Hitler's Ambivalent Attache, Lt. Gen. Friedrich Von Boetticher in America, 1933-1941 (Heftet (myke permer))

ALFRED M. BECK served over twenty-five years as a historian and publisher in various Department of Defense historical programs. He lives in Falls Church, Virginia.

Although Friedrich von Boetticher produced a rich and detailed commentary on military and political affairs during his time in Washington, he was nonetheless accused after the war of misjudging America's productive potential and misleading Hitler. His life, as Beck argues, "permits a glimpse into the sociology of a conservative officer caste at once assailed by the politics of a regime and the impossibilities imposed on it."
