| Summary: | “We must look into the abyss to see beyond it,” psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton once stated, after dedicating decades to explaining why perpetrators of atrocities, massacres, and genocide did what they did. In this spirit, historians, sociologists, and, not least, psychologists have inquired into the actions, mindsets, and motivations of Holocaust perpetrators and published hundreds if not thousands of books and innumerous articles. Guenter Lewy’s new book synthesizes the most important in masterly fashion. |
