Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.No, not another new book from the assiduous Macintyre – this Paraguayan yarn appeared in 1993 – but it is a story as odd and involving as Double Cross and Operation Mincemeat.
The central figure is Elisabeth Nietzsche, sister of Friedrich. If the philosopher's role in anticipating Nazism is ambiguous, there is no doubt about hers. With her husband, she established the "racially pure" colony of Neuva Germania in 1886.
For her, Hitler was "wonderful, indeed phenomenal". Macintyre's report from the tattered remnants is startling, dark and absorbing.
