Expert Profile: Michael FitzGerald

Expertise: I am an expert in German history between 1918 and 1945, particularly with regard to the Nazi era. I am also very knowledgeable about most areas of philosophy (I have an honours degree in the subject) and am able to answer questions on that subject too. In addition, I am very knowledgeable about poetry. One of my hobbies is also politics, mainly British and European though I follow the US political scene as well. Another one is the history of crime and punishment and British social history (the two often overlap!) I am willing to answer questions on all the above issues.

Experience in the area

'Adolf Hitler' was published in July 2006 by the top history publisher Spellmount and was named historical biography of the month by the Good Book Guide. I correspond with Ian Kershaw, Peter Stachura, Jeremy Noakes, Roger Moorhouse and Stan Lauryssens. I have undertaken research for radio, television, newspapers and magazines

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Some of the greatest world leaders have been historians.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject I believe that too many people still blindly believe myths about the past rather than seeking the truth.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? On a personal level, to have even more books published. On a philosophical level, to understand better so that I may learn more and be able to assist in the future progress of humanity.

What do you like about this subject? I find that the study of the past helps me to understand the present better and gives me an insight into the way the future may develop.
