This book documents the connections between a number of occult belief systems and their influence on Nazi ideology.

Anyone who is interested in what is going on beneath the veneer of modern media needs to read this book.Book Review: Excellent book with thorough research!
Summary: 5 Stars
I just finished "Unholy Alliance". It is an excellent book and is very well researched. Mr. Levenda does a fantastic job of showing that the Nazi Party was much more than just a political party bent on world domination. He exposes the occult roots of the Nazis, and how this evil organization still exists worldwide to this day. It should be required reading in every college history class.Book Review: Fascinating, informative, and addicting!
Summary: 5 Stars
Unholy Alliance offers about fifty movie possibillities, in its multifaceted examination of not only Nazi's and the occult, but the relationship of the occult to just about any culture. From Madame Blavatksy, to Aleister Crowley to, F@#ken James Bond, the book just doesn't stop. One starts to think about how the whole world is comprised of secret societies. Whether they be Freemasons, Satanists, Christians, Jews, or whatever, it seems that there is occult type of behavior at the root of them all. Peter Levenda, isn't just talking about Nazis and the occult, he is on to the mysteries of pop culture. For the first time, I really know how the "-cryptic-Nazi-biker" type could have evolved, and it dates back way before Kenneth Anger made films in which he premeired this stereotype.Book Review: Interesting yet personally biased
Summary: 2 Stars
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.Book Review: People Must Know!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read Mr. Levenda's book several times. It is my "Bible" in regard to the occult background of the Third Reich. I am sure that any book that presents a side of history that some people would rather hide (modern Theosophists, Wiccans, New Agers, etc.) is likely to be controversial. However, Levenda has presented vast documentation of the roots of Nazism as a "cult" as well as a political movement. I agree with the previous reviewer that this information should be taught in schools alongside dates, battles, and the usual "stuff."
