  1. 1. War Against The Weak

    Eugenics and America's Campaign to Create a Master Race

    An investigative history that traces the rise of the eugenics movement in the United States and its links to Nazi Germany, documenting how scientists, politicians, philanthropists, and institutions promoted sterilization, restrictive immigration, and racial-purity policies under the guise of science. It exposes chilling collaborations—legal precedents, funding networks, and intellectual exchanges—that helped legitimize and export ideas about genetic ‘fitness,’ and recounts the experiences of those subjected to forced sterilizations and discriminatory laws. The book argues these policies were mainstream rather than fringe, revealing wide moral failure and warning about the dangers of scientific hubris and state-sanctioned prejudice.
