1933–1939
Análise detalhada do período 1933–1939 que examina como os nazistas consolidaram o poder na Alemanha, transformando instituições políticas, econômicas e culturais por meio da Gleichschaltung, propaganda e violência estatal; descreve o desenvolvimento das políticas económicas e de rearmamento, a instrumentalização do terror através da SS, da Gestapo e dos campos de concentração, e a intensificação da perseguição aos judeus e a outros grupos.

5. Milton's Imperial Epic
A concise critical study that reads Milton’s epic as deeply engaged with questions of empire, authority, and political theology in seventeenth‑century England, arguing that the poem reshapes classical epic conventions to negotiate sovereignty, rebellion, colonization, and providential order; the book situates the work in its historical and ideological contexts, examines Milton’s portrayals of leadership, liberty, and imperial ambition, and shows how poetic form and political argument intertwine to produce a complex reflection on power and legitimacy.

7. The Third Reich In History And Memory
A collection of essays that examines how the Nazi era has been investigated, represented and remembered, arguing that scholarly history and public memory are distinct but interlinked arenas; it traces changing interpretations of origins, responsibility and crimes, critiques distortions and denialism, and shows how monuments, museums, education and political debates shape collective understandings of the past. The work emphasizes the need for rigorous, evidence-based scholarship to confront myths and manipulations while exploring how memory practices influence identity, moral reckoning and contemporary political uses of the Nazi legacy.

8. Lying About Hitler
History, Holocaust, and the David Irving Trial
A detailed, forensic account of a landmark libel trial that exposed a prominent historian's deliberate distortions of World War II evidence and Holocaust testimony, showing how meticulous archival research and expert witnesses unraveled manipulations, lies, and misrepresentations; the narrative combines courtroom drama with clear explanations of historical method, the documentary record, and the wider stakes for public memory and the defense of truth against denialism.
