First sentence: In a much-cited phrase encompassing the essentials of their approach to history, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels wrote that life determines consciousness, and not the other way around.
Description: "This book purports that, given Operation Barbarossa's concept and scope, it would have been impossible without Nazi ideology, that we cannot understand it in the absence of its reference to the Holocaust. It asks and attempts to answer whether we can describe ideology without reference to ethics and speak about genocide while ignoring philosophy."--BOOK JACKET.
