As mentioned in the previous post<\/a>, Peter Levenda is a person readers are likely to encounter as the probe the sometimes murky recesses of esotericism<\/a>, occultism, and, yes, SynchroMysticism.<\/p>\n

Levenda, similarly to Christopher Knowles<\/a>, seems a bit more left-leaning than some of the individuals that we will look at in upcoming posts. \u00a0Professionally, he is an author and offbeat historian of sorts. An early focus was on the obscure intersection of Nazism and, well, magic.<\/p>\n

In this genre, Levenda has three impressive offerings. The primary book of interest to those who study historic “Hitlerism” is his 1995 book, Unholy Alliance: A History of Nazi Involvement With the Occult<\/em><\/a> (New York: Avon). Of more specialized appeal is his quirky, 2012 speculations that Hitler escaped Germany at the conclusion of World War Two. (See\u00a0Ratline: Soviet spies, Nazi Priests, and the Disappearance of Adolf Hitler,<\/em><\/a> Lake Worth, FL: Ibis Press.)\u00a0More recently, in his The Hitler Legacy: The Nazi Cult in Diaspora, How it was Organized, How it was Funded, and Why it remains a Threat to Global Security in the Age of Terrorism<\/em><\/a> (Lake Worth, FL: Ibis Press, 2014), he has applied his historical views to more contemporary problems.<\/p>\n
