Reviews

"Lewy succeeds in compressing and thoughtfully analysing a huge amount of information in a slim volume." --Paul Hollander, The New Criterion
"[M]akes an important contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust....Perpetrators is organized clearly and logically....[T]he author makes a valuable contribution by providing detail on the perpetrators and by offering his views on what motivated the killers."--Mark Monesclaros, H-War
"[A]n insightful new work....His book, while a difficult read, makes an important contribution to our understanding of the Holocaust....[R]eaders will benefit from Lewy's valuable insights on how the German justice system dealt with perpetrators, a subject still relevant seventy-two years after the liberation of Auschwitz and the end of World War II."--Mark Montesclaros, H-War
