If you are interested in how seemingly regular people can be driven to commit atrocities like those of the holocaust, this is a great book. It’s so great that I don’t think I’ll be able to read it again. Browning did an amazing job at describing what these men did. Truly a great piece of literature.

All interested in the Holocaust should read this. The 101 Reserve Battalion’s story is a chilling reminder of what almost all of us are capable of in the wrong conditions.
