5.0 out of 5 stars The harrowing dynamics of terror!, January 15, 2007
This review is from: The Order of Terror (Paperback)

When we refer ourselves respect certain themes not precisely pleasant to face, most of people tend or ignore, overlook or evade it. And perhaps the Nazi concentration camps is the most conclusive evidence that shows us with implacable realism the state of primitivism that continues reigning in the spirit and soul of many people.

The future genocides simply have varied its schemes, obviously with major efficiency and discretion, but this rigorous analysis around the abominable horror beneath this unthinkable fact simply cannot and must not be forgotten, because of the fact the Nazism is just a branch of the nasty repression no matter the origin of its procedure. Basically all intransigence or prohibition is by itself a signal of fascism, because it's good to remark the fascism may embrace all the politic specters, from left to right. Because there are issues that by known they are silenced, and then forgotten. That's why you and me must insist, over and over, because the human memory is fragile and sentimental.

A definitive account of one the most bloody and embarrassing episodes of the last Century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dense but Riveting, January 5, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Order of Terror (Paperback)
This is a powerful book. It analyzes and explains the sociology of the Nazi concentration camp.

I would, however, recommend reading it After reading other books about the camps in general, and survivor testimony in particular.

It is not light reading, but, I found it gripping nonetheless.

4.0 out of 5 stars Painstaking detail, November 21, 2000
This review is from: The Order of Terror (Paperback)
This is a great sociology text regarding the concentration camp and its scary system. I have read several books about WWII and the Holocaust, but this has a totally different angle. If you have ever studied the sociology of control, crime, or time, this is a must read. It is an academic work, but definitely good leisure reading.
