The Genocidal Mind: Sociological and Sexual Perspectives - Paperback

by Jack Nusan Porter (Author), Antony Polonsky (Foreword by)

The Genocidal Mind offers unique and under-explored analyses of the Holocaust and the phenomenon of 20th century genocide within a sociological framework. With reference to contemporary scholarly work and using the latest in social structural, psychoanalytical, post-modern, chaos, and uncertainty theory, Dr. Porter attempts to explain why people dehumanize and kill other innocent people. The author also probes the deviant, sexual side of the Nazi party, including the mind of Adolf Hitler.
