“Germania: Hitler’s Twisted Fantasy” by Anthony Gordon Pilla was nominated for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award
The US Review of Books recently announced the much-awaited results for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award.
“Germania: Hitler’s Twisted Fantasy” by Anthony Gordon Pilla, published by Author Reputation Press, was one of the nominees for the 2024 Eric Hoffer Book Award. It was commended by Philip Zozzaro of the US Review of Books, highlighting that “A series of news articles from around the world chart the path of the Nazis’ march to near global hegemony in this gripping alternative history novella. A world on the brink of another destructive war is seen with each bold headline and illustration. The author does a noteworthy job of weaving the factual with the fictional in generating a dystopian world. While Hitler is the main character in his quest for dominance in Europe, the subjects of war and diplomacy are nearly constant in their presence. The impact of the plot lies in its ability to illustrate how war can quickly ramp up and gain momentum for one side and when diplomacy may be the only way to stave off catastrophe. This is a riveting book about a nightmarish scenario that could have been real.”
Eric Hoffer Book Award honors the memory of the great American philosopher Eric Hoffer by highlighting salient writing, as well as the independent spirit of small publishers. Since its establishment, the Hoffer has become one of the largest international book awards for small, academic, and independent presses.
The US Review of Books supports the Eric Hoffer Project by publishing the results of the annual Eric Hoffer Award for Books. The Eric Hoffer Award is judged by a separate panel, under the direction of the Eric Hoffer Project.
“Germania: Hitler’s Twisted Fantasy” is a unique story that introduces you to the inner workings of Hitler’s fantasy in this “what if” concept that explores good versus evil from the perspective of a twisted mind.
This masterpiece was displayed during the 2024 Los Angeles Times Festival of Books (LATFOB) at the University of Southern California on April 20–21, 2024.
