Recenzje

The Third Reich's Elite Schools can lay claim to the status of a standard work... The book's great merit lies in its abundance of meticulously researched case studies... At no point in her account does Roche indulge in moralisation or judgment, and that makes her investigation all the more nightmarish and impressive.
