Forgotten Fatherland: The True Story of Nietzsche's Sister and Her Lost Aryan Colony

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A SPY AMONG FRIENDS

In 1886 Elisabeth Nietzsche, Friedrichâ€™s bigoted, imperious sister, founded a â€œracially pureâ€ colony in Paraguay together with a band of blonde-haired fellow Germans. Over a century later Ben Macintyre sought out the survivors of this â€œNueva Germaniaâ€ to discover the remains of this bizarre colony. Forgotten Fatherland vividly recounts his arduous adventure locating the survivors, while also tracing the colorful history of Elisabethâ€™s return to Europe, where she inspired the mythical cult of her brotherâ€™s philosophy and later became a mentor to Hitler. Brilliantly researched and mordantly funny, this is an illuminating portrait of a forgotten people and of a woman whose deep influence on the twentieth century can only now be fully understood.
