WHY MY FATHER’S BOOK STILL MATTERS?
BECAUSE HISTORY CAN REPEAT ITSELF
WHAT KIND OF MEN WERE THESE NAZI OVERLORDS?
HOW DID THEY BECOME MONSTERS?
WHY DID AN ENTIRE NATION EMBRACE EVIL?
In the 22 cells of Nuremberg Prison, the architects of the Holocaust waited for their fate. Only one man walked freely among them: American psychiatrist Dr. Douglas M. Kelley.
Through months of raw psychological interviews, he uncovered a truth more terrifying than madness: these were not demons. They were ordinary, brilliant, ambitious men who had willingly
sold their souls to evil.
Hitler was not in a cell — but his spirit haunted every single one. This is how Kelley reconstructed the inner personality and hidden world of Adolf Hitler himself.
ONE OF THE THREE OR FOUR MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED ON WORLD WAR II
About the author
Douglas M. Kelley (1912–1958) was an American psychiatrist who played a central role during the Nuremberg Trials. A medical officer in the United States Army, he was directly involved in the psychological evaluation of the leading Nazi defendants.
His approach, both clinical and humane, profoundly shaped the modern understanding of the psychology of mass criminals. His work remains today an essential source for historians, psychologists, and all those interested in the mechanisms of power and ideological violence.
From Book to Film
The 22 of Nuremberg: Inside the Minds of the Nazis inspired a film adaptation based on the work and observations of Douglas M. Kelley. The film extends the reflection initiated by the book by giving a visual and narrative dimension to these historic interviews.
