"A gripping account of the evils of eugenics. Edwin Black brings home the misery inflicted by the eugenic zealots."
—Paul Weindling, Department of History, Oxford Brookes University, author of HEALTH, RACE AND GERMAN POLITICS BETWEEN NATIONAL UNIFICATION AND NAZISM, 1870-1940
"Black has conclusively shown that Nazi eugenics was derived from notions espoused by a self-chosen American elite….Hitler and his fanatics further perverted this iniquity in their attempt to exterminate all Gypsies and all Jews, whom they considered racially inferior—that is eugenically inferior. The American antecedents in this book were a revelation to me."
—Robert Wolfe, former chief archivist for captured German records, National Archives, Washington, D.C.
"A triumph of historical research and storytelling. It provides new information and insights on the pseudoscience that brought humanity to the brink of creating a monstrous master race."
—J. David Smith, provost and senior vice chancellor, University of Virginia-Wise, author of THE STERILIZATION OF CARRIE BUCK
"[Black] carefully documents the links of the American eugenics movement to the horror of the crimes of Nazi Germany….Black’s careful scholarship will have to make [readers] reconsider the innocence of the acceptance of any simple racist notions by elites."
—William E. Spriggs, executive director, National Urban League Institute for Opportunity and Equality
"An astonishing history…and a gripping narrative. This is a must-read."
—Abraham H. Foxman, national director, Anti-Defamation League
