This book contains the finest summary statement on the pathology of the Holocaust I Have ever read - see page 276-277 beginning chapter on Rudolf Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz.
Biographische Skizzen über Hitler, Göring, Himmler, Goebbels und Konsorten. Gut geschrieben (urpgl. für den Hörfunk) - vorwiegend essayartige Analysen, relativ wenig biographische Details.
National socialism.
Nella vasta produzione saggistica sul fenomeno nazionalsocialista, visto nelle sue origini e nel suo progressivo e rapido svilupparsi e affermarsi, uno spazio limitato è stato, fino ad oggi, riservato allo studio delle singole personalità, alle motivazioni psichiche dei protagonisti. Chi erano veramente i capi del movimento, i padroni del Terzo Reich?
