They are there to "stump up" funding for the accession to power of the National Socialist Party and its fearsome Chancellor. This inaugural scene sets the tone of consent which will lead to the worst possible repercussions. March 12, 1938: the annexation of Austria is on the agenda and a grotesque day ensues that is intended to make history: the newsreels capture for eternity a motorized army, a terrible, inexorable power. But behind Goebbels's splendid propaganda, it is an ersatz Blitzkrieg which unfolds, the Panzers breaking down en mass onthe roads of Austria. The true behind-the-scenes story of the Anschluss--a patchwork of minor shows of strength and fine words, a string of fevered telephone calls and vulgar threats--reveals a starkly different picture: it is no longer strength of character or the determination of a people that wins the day, but rather a combination of intimidation and bluff. With this vivid, compelling history, EÌric Vuillard warns against the perils of willfully blind acquiescence, and offers a crucial reminder that,ultimately, the worst is not inescapable"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a Austria $x History $y 1938-1945 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Austria $x History $y Anschluss, 1938 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Polizzotti, Mark, $e translator. 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Vuillard, EÌric. $t Order of the day $d New York : Other Press, [2018] $z 9781590519707 $w (DLC) 2018036366 941 $a 6 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012011244.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191121011651.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20191003013313.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20181115010445.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20181102011145.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006121747.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F620476C93111E88539171297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
