How could ordinary people commit unimaginable crimes? Bestselling historian Laurence Rees explores one of history’s darkest chapters, blending historical insight with cutting-edge psychology. Through twelve key warnings – from the dangers of ‘us vs. them’ thinking to the escalation of racism – Rees traces the rise and fall of the Nazis, revealing how individuals became complicit in genocide. Using newly uncovered testimony and psychological research, he offers a chilling yet vital examination of history’s worst crime – and the lessons we must learn today.
