Neste trabalho rigoroso de pesquisa histórica, Eric Kurlander desfaz mitos sobre a ligação do nazismo a forças sobrenaturais ao mesmo tempo que encontra inúmeras evidências de como o Partido Nacional-Socialista surgiu em um meio que acreditava em teorias da conspiração delirantes e que, depois, passou a alimentar uma gama de irracionalidades.
