À propos de cet audio

Reinhard Heydrich is widely recognized as one of the great iconic villains of the 20th century, an appalling figure even within the context of the Nazi leadership. Chief of the Nazi Criminal Police, the SS Security Service, and the Gestapo, ruthless overlord of Nazi-occupied Bohemia and Moravia, and leading planner of the "Final Solution," Heydrich played a central role in Hitler's Germany. He shouldered a major share of responsibility for some of the worst Nazi atrocities, and up to his assassination in Prague in 1942, he was widely seen as one of the most dangerous men in Nazi Germany.

Yet Heydrich has received remarkably modest attention in the extensive literature of the Third Reich. Robert Gerwarth weaves together little-known stories of Heydrich's private life with his deeds as head of the Nazi Reich Security Main Office. Fully exploring Heydrich's progression from a privileged middle-class youth to a rapacious mass murderer, Gerwarth sheds new light on the complexity of Heydrich's adult character, his motivations, the incremental steps that led to unimaginable atrocities, and the consequences of his murderous efforts toward recreating the entire ethnic makeup of Europe.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"This admirable biography makes plausible what actually happened and makes human what we might prefer to dismiss as monstrous." ( The Wall Street Journal)

One must learn and understand the past. May we never forget. Only learning the past keeps us from repeating the past. Never Again!

While it is definitely not a book for novices when it comes to knowledge of history, those who do enjoy studying history will learn many intricate details.
It does an outstanding job of explaining why certain things were done, while not speculating, but going based solely on facts and official records.

Brilliant

This is a very extensive biography of one of the most notorious Nazis. While not originally a Nazi he rose through the ranks by becoming a Nazi's Nazi, creating and enforcing some of the most extreme racist policies ever created by human kind. This book outlines it all in every dry detail. Too dry to be enjoyable listening.

Very In-depth
