Routledge - Deadly Documents: Technical Communication Book

Deadly Documents: Technical Communication, Organizational Discourse, and the Holocaust offers a unique look at how communication shapes organizations. Published by Routledge, this book moves beyond standard historical accounts to examine the rhetorical work found in everyday texts. It uses the extreme case of the Final Solution to explore how organizations are built through communication and to provide new perspectives on destructive organizational discourse. This work is designed for scholars, teachers, and practitioners working in professional, organizational, and technical communication. By analyzing the communicative constitution of organizations, the text provides a foundation for studying ethics and the impact of rhetoric in high-stakes environments. It is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of rhetoric, history, and organizational behavior.
