Description

The Law of Blood: Thinking and Acting as a Nazi by Johann Chapoutot A chilling exploration of the Nazi ideology that drove one of history's most brutal regimes. Johann Chapoutot, one of France's leading historians, delves into the texts and images that shaped the mental world of Nazi ideologues. He uncovers how the party disseminated a narrative that portrayed a fundamental law of blood as the only path to survival. This remarkable work of scholarship reveals the chilling ideas and outlook that cost millions their lives. Chapoutot's research offers a clearer understanding of how the Nazis explained their brutal actions, and how they convinced themselves and others that history was driven by brute necessity rather than right or wrong.
