Publisher Synopsis
'Weindling's book is a major contribution to an important subject. It brings a mass of fascinating detail to bear on the medical origins of Nazi exterminism.

London Review of Books 'Paul Weindling's book is very good indeed ... [it] needs to be read by anyone embarking on a cultural history of the European world of 1900'. Norman Stone, The Guardian Read more...
