Description: "Early in his career, Adolf Hitler took inspiration from Benito Mussolini, his senior colleague in fascism -- this fact is widely known. But an equally important role model for Hitler and the Nazis has almost been entirely neglected: Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey. Stefan Ihrig's compelling presentation of this untold story promises to rewrite our understanding of the roots of Nazi ideology and strategy." -- Book jacket.
