Produktinformationen zu „Hitler's Hangman “
"Reinhard Heydrich is widely recognized as one of the great iconic villains of the twentieth 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 complexityof Heydrich's adult character, his motivations, the incremental steps that led to unimaginable atrocities, and the consequences of his murderous efforts toward re-creating the entire ethnic makeup of Europe"--
Klappentext zu „Hitler's Hangman “
Reinhard Heydrich is widely recognized as one of the iconic villains of the 20th century, an appalling figure even within the context the Nazi leadership, yet he has received only modest attention in the vast array of literature of the Third Reich. This compelling and powerfully reviewed biography sheds new light on the complexity of his 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. 'Superb' Frank Dikkoter, "Daily Telegraph" Books of the Year.Autoren-Porträt von Robert Gerwarth

Rezension zu „Hitler's Hangman “
"'Drawing on profound research, Robert Gerwarth presents a penetrating, authoritative analysis of the ruthless personality and murderous career of the man who directed the Third Reich's police state and became a driving-force in the programme to exterminate Europe's Jews.' (Ian Kershaw, author of Hitler) 'It is unlikely that either of these biographies will be bettered.' (Richard Overy, The Sunday Telegraph (reviewed with Heinrich Himmler: A Life by Peter Longerich)) 'With his cold intelligence and utter ruthlessness, it is sometimes suggested he would have made a redoubtable Fuhrer and formidable enemy. In this riveting biography, Gerwarth shows just how plausible that claim is.' (Guy Walters, The Mail on Sunday) 'Hitler's Hangman: The Life of Heydrich by Robert Gerwarth is superb.' (Frank Dikotter, The Daily Telegraph (Books of the Year)) '... the outstanding definitive scholarly and heartbreakingly horrible biography of the repellent mastermind of the Holocaust.' (Simon Sebag Montefiore, BBC History Magazine (Books of the Year))"
