What is The Nazi doctors : medical killing and the psychology of genocide : with a new preface by the author about?
A brilliant analysis and history of the crucial role that German doctors played in Nazi genocide."This is not only one of the most important works on medical ethics yet written. It also breaks through the frontiers of historiography to provide a convincing psychological interpretation of the Third Reich and the crimes of National Socialism. No one will be able, in my view, to write perceptively about those times in the future without referring to this interpretation."--Neal Ascherson, "New York Review of Books" "A powerful reminder not only of what happened, but of the monumental evil done by particular human beings who were trained to heal and cure."--Robert Coles, "Boston Globe" "Must reading....The book as a whole stands without competition in the English language."--Raul Hilberg"A monumental achievement; an awesome account of the ultimate transgression of the Hippocratic Oath; a formidable contribution to Holocaust Studies."--Francine du Plessix Gray
