5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for the serious student of Nazi occultism!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 1999
Verified Purchase
This is an excellent book, with good notes and documentation. With this and Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke's books, one gets a chilling, detailed look at occultism in Nazism. This one of a very few books in the English language to deal with this question in a scholarly manner, and should be in every school, university, and public library.
I wish that the author had cited the location of certain items/documentation that he'd consulted in the National Archives, most notably the 8+ page segment on runes. But this shouldn't take away at all from the impact of this book. I was particularly interested in the SS survival in South America.... doubtless, there are survivals elsewhere in the world.
I recommend this book most highly to the serious student of the Nazi world.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pulp research...
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2004
While I found this book slightly entertaining and the subject itself bouyant enough to support volumes of this kind of literature I'm afraid I found the aim of the thesis weak and uncompelling.
Levenda often juxtaposed Hitler with individuals involved in the early German/English occult movements of the 19th and 20th century without EVER clearly providing documented proof of their ACTUAL influence on Hitler as an individual or even as a hidden shadow policy behind the Nazis as a political force. If anything, those occultists close to Hitler often came to a bad end. Hanussen for example.
Are we to believe that Levenda could actually guess what Hitler was motivated by and thinking about in 1939 without this documentation? Lets not even mention all the secondary sources that were used to formulate many of his assertions.
I was so unimpressed with Levenda's approach in fact, that I found myself questioning even the smallest of his assertions from complete lack of trust in the author's bias. He seems to have gone into the research already knowing the answer, and after all that's not research, that's thesis padding. This book might as well have been written by Charles Berlitz for all its credibility.
Lots of smoke, very little fire. I think it would have been a much more satisfying book without all the conjecturing that was rampant throughout and in that case may have ended as a very short book.
Read it anyway though, since it does have some interesting tidbits, just don't take it as the definitive book on Nazi occultism since he draws very few empiric connections between the two camps beyond anecdotal similarities...

2.0 out of 5 stars Interesting yet personally biased
Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2000
With Unholy Alliance, Mr. Levenda chronicles how esoteric andoccult books as well as organizations influenced Hitler and the ThirdReich in their relentless quest to create an elite, Aryan superrace.While the material is exhaustingly detailed and concise,Peter's leftism tends to rear it's ugly head one too many times.For example, while he villifies Hitler for being the monster that he was,people like Mao and Che Guevera are painted as heroes in addition to his sympathy for the Communist ideology.Indeed, one is at times almost reminded of Noam Chomsky when Peter criticizes U.S intervention in Latin America even though the U.S was their to help rather than hinder. At best, Peter Levenda is an occult expert who really doesn't tell you anything that a true occultist would already know. At worst, he sounds just like another whining leftist who's upset that Communism has been battled and defeated all over the world by right wing groups.
