Book Reviews of The Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide

Book Review: A detailed account
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
