Doctors of Infamy: The Story of the Nazi Medical Crimes is a historical account of the atrocities committed by Nazi doctors during World War II. Written by Alexander Mitscherlich, a German psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, the book delves into the horrific experiments and medical procedures conducted on concentration camp prisoners by doctors who were supposed to uphold the Hippocratic Oath. The book examines the role of medical professionals in the Nazi regime, exploring their motivations and the ethical dilemmas they faced. It also sheds light on the complicity of the medical community in these crimes, as well as the efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice after the war. Mitscherlich draws on primary sources such as trial transcripts and personal accounts to provide a comprehensive and chilling account of the Nazi medical crimes. The book is a sobering reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and the importance of ethical standards in medicine. Overall, Doctors of Infamy is a powerful and important work that sheds light on a dark chapter in human history, and serves as a warning against the dangers of unethical medical practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
