The Holocaust: An Unfinished History
Author(s): Laurence Rees
Based on twenty-five years of meeting survivors and perpetrators, The Holocaust is a sweeping new history that combines first-person testimony with the latest academic research to investigate how history's greatest crime was made possible. Laurence Rees argues that a series of escalations compounded into the horror. Though Hitler was ultimately most responsible for what happened, the blame is widespread, he reminds us, and the effects are enduring. An intensely readable narrative, this is a compelling account of humanity's darkest moment. Book jacket.
