A devastating refutation of one of the most talked-about and influential books of our time, Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's "Hitler's Willing Executioners". Here, two leading critics challenge Goldhagen's findings and show that his work is not scholarship. Finkelstein documents Goldhagen's distortions of secondary literature and the internal contradictions of his arguments.

Reviews
"All readers of Goldhagen's controversial book should take note of these much-needed studies which authoritatively dismantle its arguments." --Eric Hobsbawm "Finkelstein's contribution is more than a dessection: it tells us something about where we are." --Raul Hilberg
