Reviews

By zooming in on man and his relationship to animals, the book avoids belittlement; it in no way moves the atrocities of the Nazis to the background. Just the opposite: with each chapter, the reader becomes a witness. . . . Rarely has a book on animals been more political, rarely has racial fanaticism in such detail been more noticeable. --Die Zeit Informative and descriptive and never lurid. . . . Worth the read. With every animal he mentions--be it a louse, dog, cat, pig, horse, or deer--Mohnhaupt makes the Nazi ideology clear. --Spektrum der Wissenschaft The book triumphs with its detailed combination of pleasant-to-read stories and well-researched historical facts. . . . [Mohnhaupt] highlights a large, up-to-now overlooked facet of how deeply Nazi ideology penetrated all areas of society. --FALTER
