Years before Hitler unleashed the “Final Solution†to annihilate European Jews; he began a lesser-known campaign to eradicate the mentally ill; which facilitated the gassing and lethal injection of as many as 270;000 people and set a precedent for the mass murder of civilians. In Confronting the “Good Death†Michael Bryant analyzes the U.S. government and West German judiciary’s attempt to punish the euthanasia killers after the war.The first author to address the impact of geopolitics on the courts’ representation of Nazi euthanasia; Bryant argues that international power relationships wreaked havoc on the prosecutions.Drawing on primary sources; this provocative investigation of the Nazi campaign against the mentally ill and the postwar quest for justice will interest general readers and provide critical information for scholars of Holocaust studies; legal history; and human rights.

US Cruisers; An Illustrated Design HistoryBy deerhunterFriedman covers ALL the US classes of Cruisers in this one from the very beginning up till the Tico's. But I think he misses the mark with his USN party line stance on the Alaska Class (CB). I'll never buy the line of Large Cruiser instead of BattleCruiser......0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Any ship/modeling enthusiast will love this bookBy CMBFriedman put together a comprehensive anthology of U.S. cruisers in this book. It provided me with a wealth of knowledge for modeling the USS San Francisco. Any ship/modeling enthusiast will love this book.
