† It is very interesting to note that Neumann, just as H. Gerth in his article on the Party, Nazi (American Journal of Sociology, 1940, p. 517 f.)Google Scholar, is very much influenced by Max Weber's classification of different type of domination (cf. T. Parsons' article on Weber, Max in The Review of Politics, 01 and April, 1942)Google Scholar. He characterizes the structure of the Nazi Party as a mixture of charismatic and bureaucratic elements. Neumann's use of the distinction between a substantial rationality and a purely functional, technical one indicates too the influence of this great German sociologist, and it is a merit of his book to direct the attention of its readers to Max Weber's analysis of bureaucracy. (The importance of this too little known analysis was stressed before by Dorn, Competition for Empire.)
