Publisher Synopsis
[an] authoritatively sourced and minutely examined study * John P. Fox, Slavonic and East European Review * Excellent...Epstein's book is a most welcome addition to the vast literature on the Third Reich and an important contribution to the debate on the origins, manifestations and consequences of racially motivated mass murder. * Robert Gerwarth, Irish Times * [A] finely crafted and superbly researched biography * Christopher Browning, Central European History * A valuable new biography * Timothy Snyder, New York Review of Books * Epstein's biography of Greiser is careful and rigorous.
