    Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

    by Simon Taylor, Tom Stammers ...
    Series series The Macat Library
    Daniel Goldhagen's study of the Holocaust offers conclusions that run directly counter to those reached by Christopher Browning, whose book Ordinary Men is also the subject of a Macat analysis.

    by Nicholas Piercey, Tom Stammers ...
    Series series The Macat Library
