Memoir by the greatest writer to have been a survivor of the camps. He wrote extraordinary books on a variety of other subjects but this is the one to read first.

Along with the same author's 'Coming of the Third Reich', the most scrupulous history so far of how Nazi Germany happened and what it was like to live there. Part 2 of a projected three-part series.

Superb first of a two-volume historical biography. More detailed than Alan Bullock's, less speculative than Joachim Fest's.

Brave account of the 1961 trial of one of the architects of the extermination policy. Properly unsettling in its implications; a warning to history, all right.
