Reviews
Weindling's monograph is the first comprehensive inquiry to treat coerced experimentation as a distinct object of study, right down to the gory details of the tests themselves. In that vein, the book makes a tremendous contribution to existing scholarship by addressing the hitherto neglected experiences and perspectives of the victims ... An important and thought-provoking study that warrants the full attention of specialists in the field for its sophisticated documentation and revelatory insights. -- Bradley J. Nichols, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA * German History *
In this important book, Paul Weindling combines detailed original research and great sensitivity to produce a compelling study of an often-misunderstood subject. With clarity and nuance, he details the brutality of the Nazis' experiments but never forgets the humanity of the victims. The result is a genuine contribution to the scholarship on the Third Reich and its terrible crimes. * Dan Stone, Professor of Modern History, Royal Holloway, University of London *
