From the time he burst onto the literary scene with \u003ci\u003eThe Storms of Steel\u003c\/i\u003e in the early 1920s until he reached Olympian age in a reunited Germany, Jünger's writings on a vast range of topics generated scores of controversies. In old age he became a cultural celebrity whose long life mirrored the tragic twists and turns of Germany's most difficult century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElliot Neaman's study reflects an impressive investigation of published and unpublished material, including letters, interviews, and other media. Through his analysis of Jünger's work and its reception over the years, he addresses central questions of German intellectual life, such as the postwar radical conservative interpretation of the Holocaust, divided memory, German identity, left and right critiques of civilization, and the political allegiances of the German and European political right. \u003ci\u003eA Dubious Past\u003c\/i\u003e reconceptualizes intellectual fascism as a sophisticated critique of liberal humanism and Marxism, one that should be seen as coherent and-for a surprising number of contemporary intellectuals-all too attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Dubious Past\u003c\/i\u003e deepens our understanding of a talented and troubling writer. An important and most valuable study, this book contains a great deal of new material and much trenchant interpretation. Neaman explores uncharted territory in German and European intellectual history and makes an important contribution to ongoing efforts to map its continuities and discontinuities before and after 1945.--Jeffrey Herf, Ohio University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElliot Y.
