My Goodreads review: The Nazi Mind by Laurence Rees

The Nazi Mind: Twelve Warnings from History by Laurence Rees

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A worthwhile & very timely listen, presenting the overall arc of the rise & fall of Nazi Germany through a psychological lens. A historian & filmmaker, Rees has decades of research experience on WW II & is the former head of BBC TV History programming -- all of which makes his style entertaining & easy to follow.

A lot of the information presented here is chilling, but Rees stays within his historical lines & does not veer into much current-day speculation. Recommended for anyone interested in historical patterns, WW II, or simply the workings of the human mind under stress.
