Basing his work on the writings of Schmitt and his contemporaries, extensive new archival documentation, and parts of Schmitt's personal papers, Professor Bendersky uses Schmitt's public career as a framework for re-evaluating his contributions to political and legal theory. This book establishes that Schmitt's late Weimar writings were directed at preventing rather than encouraging the Nazi acquisition of power. Originally published in 1983.

On the 60th anniversary of Carl Schmitt's Nuremburg interrogations for his role in the Third Reich & in light of the discovery of archival documentation of a fourth interrogation of Schmitt by prosecutor Robert M. W. Kempner, Schmitt's various arrests & internments are subject to reassessment. At issue is why Schmitt was brought to Nuremburg & the expectations of those who saw to this. Thus, Carl Schmitt's path to Nuremburg is traced, 1945-147, & while Helmut Quaritsch's (2000) critique identifies inconsistencies & factual errors in the narratives & recollections of those responsible, including Kempner, it is argued that new evidence suggests that German emigres, who knew him personally or knew of him, provided major impetus behind the arrests & internments. Detailed attention is given to the actions of emigre Karl Loewenstein in pursuing Schmitt's internment, the role of Loewenstein's relationship with Kempner & emigre lawyer William Dickmann in bringing Schmitt to Nuremburg, & Kempner's interrogations & Schmitt's efforts during them. The nature & importance of the fourth interrogation are highlighted. It is concluded that Schmitt's case underscores the issue of whether one can separate ideas from the characteristics of the thinkers who generated them & of properly & realistically comprehending & judging intellectuals in totalitarian regimes in terms of available choices.
