It's really more like living next to a live-music stadium.

I imagine there must have been some heated discussions about the book at the ASEEES. Samuel Moyn, as so often, wrote a really good review of it.

Interesting, I wouldn't have associated Snyder's argument, which I found a bit elusive, with Foucault. My sense is that some people hesitated before what they saw as an authoritarianism redux argument.

Yes Hanebrink's book is very good. I would be surprised if anyone took up Nolte's argument. There is Timothy Snyder's Bloodlands which, while steering clear of Nolte, did make a argument about the larger context.

I haven't read the book but from the blurb the argument doesn't sound pathbreakingly new. Hitler and the Nazis' obsessive hatred of Judeo-Bolshevism - the amalgam of the Soviet Union, bolshevism and the Jews - is well known, isn't it?
