We live in an age where Hitler and the Nazis dominate our cultural imagination, shaping values once defined by religion. In this book historian Alec Ryrie explores why society remains captivated by this struggle, from history and fiction to modern myths such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. He examines the costs of our Nazi obsession and questions what will come as our anti-Nazi moral consensus frays and both the Left and Right begin to move on. With a fresh take on modern history and pop culture, The Age of Hitler offers a thought-provoking look at the culture wars and our shifting political crises, challenging assumptions on both sides and asking what a new moral vision might look like.

'We live amid alarming fractures in the public understanding of our identities, our collective needs and our perils. Alec Ryrie's little book of contemporary history manages to be both exhilarating and comforting, based on his rare skill in bringing an historian's cool gaze on our anxious world to assess its ills, and with due modesty to offer some remedial ways forward.' Diarmaid MacCulloch, Emeritus Professor of the History of the Church, University of Oxford
