Reinhard Heydrich is widely recognized as one of the great iconic villains of the twentieth century, an appalling figure even within the context of the Nazi leadership. Chief of the Nazi Criminal Police, the SS Security Service, and the Gestapo, ruthless overlord of Nazi-occupied Bohemia and Moravia, and leading planner of the "Final Solution," Heydrich played a central role in Hitler's Germany. He shouldered a major share of responsibility for some of the worst Nazi atrocities, and up to his assassination in Prague in 1942, he was widely seen as one of the most dangerous men in Nazi Germany. Yet Heydrich has received remarkably modest attention in the extensive literature of the Third Reich.
Robert Gerwarth weaves together little-known stories of Heydrich's private life with his deeds as head of the Nazi Reich Security Main Office. Fully exploring Heydrich's progression from a privileged middle-class youth to a rapacious mass murderer, Gerwarth sheds new light on the complexity of Heydrich's adult character, his motivations, the incremental steps that led to unimaginable atrocities, and the consequences of his murderous efforts toward re-creating the entire ethnic makeup of Europe.

Verschrikkelijk voorgelezen! Elke Duitse naam of citaat werd met een slecht accent nagedaan of kracht bij gezet.

Zeer gedetailleerde beschrijving. Leerzaam en schokkend

Een ster is al veel te veel om de totaal verkeerde vraag ,of ik heb ,, genoten,,van dit boek!Als het gaat om te oordelen over een man,die mede door omstandigheden,meer katholiek werd als de paus.De vraag of het vermoorden van deze man zinvol is geweest,kan niet zomaar beantwoord worden., aangezien door deze moord,het exterminatie plan daarna met ongekende rigor werd doorgevoerd.Als je verder nog wordt verteld in dit boek hoe het met z'n vrouw,mede verantwoordelijk voor de daden van de vermoordde, afloopt,is dat geen reden voor vrolijkheid.
