The Nazi and the Psychiatrist: Hermann Göring, Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, and a Fatal Meeting of Minds at the End of WWII by Jack El-Hai

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A very engrossing book. A page-turner. I had never heard of Dr.Kelley before, but of course, know who Goring is.I've also read a lot of books about WWII but had never read about the Nuremberg Trials before. Therefore, I found the content absorbing, and the writing flows in a story-telling narrative voice. The story is told in an unusual order with the first half about Kelley in Germany and his research with the Nazis while the second half settles into a complete biography of the doctor. Recommended!
