This book, first published in 1981, is a study of the social and
political sources of amoral political rule in modern times. Only a
moral indifference unparalleled in history made the Holocaust
possible, and by linking the German imperial ambitions to the
meaningless suffering and death in the concentration camps, the
true significance of the Holocaust is revealed in all its horror.
Understanding this requires an understanding of the social forces
that produced a national amorality among Germany's elites. The
author suggests three contributive causes: a marked ambiguity among
Germans in their attitude towards social values; the development of
a cadre characterized by status insecurity; and an inability to
resolve internal conflict.
