In THE NAZI MIND, bestselling author Laurence Rees combines history and the latest research in psychology to help answer some of the most perplexing questions surrounding the Second World War and the Holocaust.<br><br>Ultimately, he delves into the darkness to explain how and why these people were capable of committing the worst crime in the history of the world.

THE NAZI MIND is a revelatory new way of understanding how so many people committed the most appalling crime of the 20th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bathtubbulletin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/image-7.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-69869\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/83003.Laurence_Rees\">Laurence Rees<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to writing, Rees has also produced films about World War II for the BBC.<br><br>In New York in January 2009, Laurence was presented with the \u2018Lifetime Achievement Award\u2019 by \u2018History Makers\u2019, the worldwide congress of History and Current Affairs programme makers<br><br>In 2011 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate (DUniv) by The Open University(UK).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Goodreads.com)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurence Rees How could the Nazis have committed the crimes they did?
