Also includes two black and white endpaper maps--one of The Tiergarten 1933, and the other one of Berlin and the Tiergarten Area. Signed by the author on the title page. A non-fiction book about William E. Dodd, who became America's first ambassador to Hitler's Germany in 1933, a year that proved to be a turning point in history. A mild-mannered professor from Chicago, Dodd brought along his wife, son, and flamboyant daughter, Martha. But as evidence of Jewish persecution mounts, confirmed by chilling first-person testimony, William Dodd telegraphs his concerns to a largely indifferent State Department back home. As that first year unfolds and the shadows deepen, the Dodds experienced days full of excitement, intrigue, romance--and ultimately horror, when a climactic spasm of violence and murder unmasks Hitler's true character and ruthless ambition. Erik Larson (born January 3, 1954) is an American journalist and author of nonfiction books. He has written a number of bestsellers, including In the Garden of Beasts (2011) about an American diplomat in Berlin in the early period of Hitler's Third Reich and The Devil in the White City (2003), about the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago and a series of murders by H. H. Holmes that were committed in the city around the time of the Fair. The Devil in the White City won the 2004 Edgar Award in the Best Fact Crime category, among other awards. More

New York: Warner Books, 1989. First Warner Books Printing [stated]. Mass market paperback. xxi, [1], 295, [3] pages. Maps. Appendices (includes a list of the 1,607 American prisoners aboard the Hell Ships of whom less than 400 survived. Index. Introduction by John Toland. The author survived the Bataan Death March, twenty-eight months of slave labor in the Philippines, and transport to Japan aboard the infamous "hell-ships." Manny Lawton was a twenty-three-year-old Army captain on April 8, 1942, when orders came to surrender to the Japanese forces invading the Philippine Islands. The next day, he and his fellow American and Filipino prisoners set out on the infamous Bataan Death March--a forced six-day, sixty-mile trek under a broiling tropical sun during which approximately eleven thousand men died or were bayoneted, clubbed, or shot to death. Yet terrible as the Death March was, for Manny Lawton and his comrades it was only the beginning. When the war ended in August 1945, it is estimated that some 57 percent of the American troops who had surrendered on Bataan had perished. This is the story of how men can suffer even the most desperate conditions and, in their will to retain their humanity, triumph over adversity. Some Survived is a harrowing, poignant, and inspiring tale that lifts the heart. More

Weakness to front board, front flyleaf torn out, DJ scuffed and some edge wear. Part I "Life Unworthy of Life": The Genetic Cure; Part II Auschwitz: The Racial Cure; Part III The Psychology of Genocide: Aftreword: Bearing Witness. In his most powerful and important book, renowned psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton presents a brilliant analysis of the crucial role that German doctors played in the Nazi genocide. Now updated with a new preface, The Nazi Doctors remains the definitive work on the Nazi medical atrocities, a chilling exposé of the banality of evil at its epitome, and a sobering reminder of the darkest side of human nature. Robert Jay Lifton (born May 16, 1926) is an American psychiatrist and author, chiefly known for his studies of the psychological causes and effects of wars and political violence, and for his theory of thought reform. He was an early proponent of the techniques of psychohistory. From 1951 to 1953, Lifton served as an Air Force psychiatrist in Japan and Korea, to which he later attributed his interest in war and politics. During the 1960s, Lifton, together with his mentor Erik Erikson and historian Bruce Mazlish of MIT, formed a group to apply psychology and psychoanalysis to the study of history. Several of his books featured mental adaptations that people made in extreme wartime environments. More
