The Nazi Mind
Book • 2025
In 'The Nazi Mind', Laurence Rees delves into the motivations and mentalities of the Nazis and their supporters, using history and the latest psychological research.
The book addresses perplexing questions about the Second World War and the Holocaust, such as how ordinary Germans tolerated the removal of Jews and why commandants of concentration camps oversaw mass murder.
Rees traces the rise and fall of the Nazis through 'twelve warnings' and highlights signs to look out for in present-day leaders.
The book includes previously unpublished testimony from former Nazis and in-depth psychological insights on obedience, authority, and the brain.
