Doctors of Infamy: The Story of the Nazi Medical Crimes by Alexander Mitscherlich is a comprehensive account of the atrocities committed by Nazi doctors during World War II. The book explores the unethical medical experiments, sterilizations, euthanasia, and other heinous crimes committed by doctors in the name of science and the Nazi ideology of racial purity. Mitscherlich provides a detailed analysis of the medical profession in Nazi Germany, including the role of medical schools, hospitals, and professional associations in promoting and justifying these crimes. He also examines the psychological and social factors that led doctors to participate in such atrocities, including the influence of Nazi propaganda, the desire for career advancement, and the fear of punishment for refusing to comply.Through extensive research and interviews with survivors and perpetrators, Mitscherlich offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on the legacy of Nazi medical crimes. He also explores the ethical implications of these crimes for modern medicine and society, and the need for vigilance against similar abuses in the future.Overall, Doctors of Infamy is a powerful and important work that sheds light on one of the darkest chapters in human history, and serves as a reminder of the dangers of unchecked power and ideology in the medical profession.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
