Maxwell's MURDEROUS INTELLECTUALS: GERMAN ELITES AND THE NAZI SS should serve as a warning to advanced societies everywhere. Jean Sasson said that "Jonathan Maxwell's compelling readable book takes the reader inside Nazi Germany on many different levels. The book provides a portrait of a people and a country in continuous flux, from the events that led to Hitler's popularity, to the Hitler Youth movement, to the embrace of national socialism, to Hitler's warped inner circle."
