Description

PublicAffairs brings a gripping account of the final days of World War II with The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. This biography uncovers the tense meeting of minds between Hermann Goring, the captured Nazi leader, and Dr. Douglas M. Kelley, the American psychiatrist tasked with evaluating him. Readers are drawn into the stark reality of Goring's arrival at an American-run detention centre in war-torn Luxembourg, where he was escorted with sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. Inside the luggage were medals, gems, silk underwear, a hot water bottle, cash equivalent to a million dollars, and a concealed coffee can holding brass vials of potassium cyanide. The book also situates Goring among the elite of the captured regime, including Grand Admiral Donitz, offering a broader view of the Nazi hierarchy under Allied custody. By blending meticulous research with vivid narrative, the work provides a rare glimpse into the psychology of a war criminal and the medical perspective that sought to understand him. History enthusiasts, students, and collectors will appreciate the detailed storytelling that makes a complex chapter of the 20th century both accessible and compelling.
