Hitler's Hangman by Robert Gerwarth
The Life of Heydrich
A concise political biography that traces the rise of a German lawyer-turned-Nazi official who became the ruthless Governor-General of occupied Poland, examining how legal expertise, ambition, and ideological conviction combined to facilitate mass plunder, repression, and genocide. Drawing on archival research, the narrative follows his early career, complicity in the party’s power struggles, administration of terror in the East, and eventual prosecution and execution, using his life to explore questions of responsibility, bureaucracy, and the moral collapse of professional elites under Nazism.
