More than a century later, Ben Macintyre tracked down the survivors of Nueva Germania to discover the remains of this bizarre colony, and found a strange, tight-lipped people, still interbreeding to the point of genetic deterioration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDigging into recently opened German archives, Macintyre unfolds how Elisabeth, who returned to Germany in 1893, grafted her anti-Semitic, nationalist ideas onto her brother's philosophy, building a mythic cult around him, and how she later became a mentor to Hitler--her stately funeral in 1935 attended by a tearful Führer. Laced with mordant irony, Macintyre's brilliant piece of investigative journalism explores how the Nazis perverted Friedrich Nietzsche's ideas to justify their evil deeds, and unearths a rich and disturbing vein of the twentieth century's dark history.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBen Macintyre\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer-at-large for \u003ci\u003eThe Times\u003c\/i\u003e (U.K.) and the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eAgent Sonya, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Spy and the Traitor, A Spy Among Friends, Double Cross, Operation Mincemeat, Agent Zigzag, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRogue Heroes\u003c\/i\u003e, among other books.
