Ericksen has made a major contribution to our understanding of Nazi Germany in this book. He both synthesizes and adds to what we know about the degree to which essentially 3 religions collaborated with the Nazis: the Deutsche Christen (Lutheran; explicitly supportive of the Nazis); the "Confessing Church" (Lutheran; resist Nazis; but were still anti-semitic); and Roman Catholicism (had some good moments; but mostly not). But he does his best work with the universities; showing more deeply (using the University of Göttingen as an instructive example); but also more comprehensively than other studies how collaborationist the universities were. It is disheartening to learn that educated Germans of the period were as or more likely than the uneducated working class to be card-carrying anti-semites. And by pairing the churches and the universities; Ericksen helps us understand the ways that instiutions; even those dedicated to principles and ideals that should have been a bulwark against Nazism (liberal education and Christianity); did much to normalize Nazi racism and might-makes-right in German culture and society at large.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Telling it like it was.By Pete H.This book documented what I had always believed went on in the Third Reich. So many of the so called "Good Germans" were "outed" in this book. At times tedious reading because of all the references and documentation the author used to support and define his analysis. History is history; I am not passing judgement one way or another; but I want any presentation of history to be as factual as possible where ever the chips may fall. I would highly recommend this book to any student of the dynamics and personnel involved in the church and higher education in the Nazi Era.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Brilliant and ClearBy David G.Ericksen writes with clarity and succinctness; packing this relatively short work (235 pages) with full analysis of complex issues in a remarkably readable book. A most gifted writer; Erickson is balanced and fair on subjects that inherently are not balanced and where there is no justice. Scholarship on the Holocaust has come a long way in the last 20 years; with Ericksen a singular voice in current company with Browning and Susannah Heschel; modern voices added to the pioneering of Arendt; Hilberg and Davidowicz. Whether this is the first read for a newcomer or a recent release for the seasoned scholar; Complicity receives my strongest recommendation. It is foundational while at the same time specific. Footnotes are helpfully positioned at the bottom of the page and the bibliography is extensive and up to date through 2012.
