Books by Dennis Shirley

How community organizing and activism in support of public schools in one of America's most economically disadvantaged regions has engendered impressive academic results.

In March 1933, Nazi storm troopers seized control of the Odenwaldschule, a small German boarding school founded in 1910 by educational reformer Paul Geheeb. Shirley explores how Nazi school reforms catalyzed Geheeb's alienation from the regime and galvanized his determination to close the school and leave Germany.
