Review of 'Ordinary men' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
The book sets out to answer the big looming post-holocaust question: why/what did make 'regular' people be active participants in all the horror? Unfortunately the arguments presented in itself aren't too new, even given the date of publication. Yes, you will find Milgram (of the eponymous experiment) and Zimbardo (of the Stanford prison experiment), but that's largely it on the data side of things.
The detailed accounts of what Battalion 101 did, seem well researched (from what I can tell) and offer (depressing) food for your own thoughts.
