Nazi Empire: German Colonialism and Imperialism from Bismarck to Hitler – Best Books on Imperialism
Baranowski, Shelley
Cambridge University 2011
Examines German history from 1871 to 1945 as an expression of the aspiration to imperialist expansion and the simultaneous fear of destruction by rivals. Baranowski reveals a common thread: the drama of German imperialist ambitions that embraced ethnic homogeneity over diversity, imperial enlargement over stasis, and “living space” as the route to the biological survival of the German Volk.

Campbell, James T. et al, eds.
University of North Carolina 2007
This lively collection of essays offers a pointed reminder that visions of national and imperial greatness were a cornerstone of the new country when it was founded.
