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

New York: Arcade Publishing, 1996. 1st English Language Edition [stated]. First Printing [stated]. Hardcover. 22 cm. [12],177, [3] pages. Footnotes. Corner of two pages folded and straightened, DJ slightly soiled. Francois Mitterrand decided to talk openly about his life, both personal and political. President for fourteen years, longer than anyone else in the history of the French Republic, Mitterrand was interested not in constructing an elaborate memorial to himself in words but in leaving behind a living testament. He therefore turned to someone whom he knew and trusted, Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, a close friend of many years, to join him in a vibrant, vigorous exchange. The topics they discuss are childhood, faith, war, power, writing, and those moments that shape and sometimes define us as people. Mitterrand and Wiesel's dialogue is spontaneous, thoughtful, lyrical, blunt, far-reaching, and candid, whether it involves controversial moments in Mitterrand's political career, Wiesel's memories of Auschwitz, the importance of family and religion in their lives, or simply their favorite books and walks.

Includes Illustrations, Chapter 1--Lyon '87; The Funny War; Vichy; Sonderbehandlung; Lyon '43; Lyon 44: Last Train to Auschwitz' Acknowledgments, Note 0n Sources; Notes; and Index. Ted Morgan obtained copies of the ten thousand pages of secret documents prepared for the Barbie trial, including several hundred depositions that were not made public, and it is from this source that he can relate so many hitherto untold narratives about the occupation in Lyon. An Uncertain Hour is an involving journey into the hidden landscape of an occupied city. It includes definitive accounts of the capture of resistance leader Jean Moulin, the raid on the Jewish welfare office in Lyon, the seizure of the children's home in Izieu, the struggle for the mountain redoubt of Vercors, and the hallucinatory itinerary of the last train to Auschwitz. It explores the minds and motives of the Vichy leaders and German occupiers, moving from their gilded offices to prison cells and furtive meeting places. The illustrations in this book are the work of the German artist Joseph Beuys (1921 - 1986). Beuys joined the Hitler Youth and then the Luftwaffe, and became a dive-bomber pilot in 1941. Stationed in Nazi-occupied Crimea in 1943, his JU-87 was hit by Russian flak. Beuys returned to Germany with severe injuries and combat fatigue, and began to produce sculpture and objects that were his own postmodern "Horrors of War." Beuys conveys a powerful sense of what war is and what war does than traditional military artists who paint battles. More
