Western historians have traditionally depicted Germany's World War II policy on the Eastern front as simply a missed opportunity. "The Politics of Illusion and Empire" demonstrates that the German position was much more complex than is usually presented. According to this view, the Germans had only to take advantage of anti-Stalinist and anti-Bolshevik sentiment to insure a bloodless victory.
It examines the attitudes, efforts, and limitations of German civil and military officials during this time. This well-documented monograph centers on the critical nine month period from the autumn of 1942 to the summer of 1943. The author describes foreign pressure for Eastern policy reform and the proposals for that reform.
Mulligan also discusses agrarian reforms, German economic policies, and the crisis of the German anti-partisan effort, relating these efforts to Hitler's military strategy
