5.0 out of 5 stars An Extraordinary Work, 31 Dec 1998
By A Customer
Robert Jay Lifton has written an exceptional work, thoroughly and painstakingly researched, and above all, he presents an analysis of the psychopathology of the Nazi doctors that is so well-thought out and well-presented that I recommend this book above all others for my students of criminal profiling. His discourse on the nature of evil and its place and use in society is unmatched in any book I have read to date.

5.0 out of 5 stars A detailed account, 29 Oct 1998
By A Customer
If you only read one book about doctors under Hitler then this is the one. Lifton not only focuses on the leading medical figures in the Third Reich, but also includes eyewitness testimony and disturbing accounts from victims. He offers numerous theories on how medical professionals turned into dispassionate killers in the name of "scientific research." A must read for anyone interested in behavioral pathology.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you wish to learn about the holocaust, this is the book., 18 May 2000
By A Customer
This book was the best that I have read. It was a required reading and I went into it with a bad attitude. But, as soon as I began to read it I realized that this was a really good book. I recommend it too anyone that wishes to know what Hitler and his men were thinking. It provides an excellent discription and analysis of what the Nazi Doctors were thinking and the emotional stress that they were going through. It is definatly not for the weak.

This is a very carefully researched book which deserves to be read. It not only covers the involvement by doctors in medical killing but also investigates their psychology. Read more
