Description

IN 1926, AT THE AGE OF TWENTY, A TRAINEE DENTIST CALLED BRUNO LANGBEHN JOINED THE NAZI PARTY. EIGHTY YEARS LATER, HIS BRITISH GRANDSON BEGAN A QUEST . . . TO DISCOVER THE TRUTH. 'One of the most unsettling books to have been written about the Third Reich not because of the brutality with which it engages but because of the story of the hatching of great wickedness in a most prosaic life. If there ever was a personification of the banality of evil, it is Martin Davidson's Grandpa Bruno. It is two stories in one - both riveting - that of the dentist's transformation into unswerving SS officer and of the grandson's appalled discovery. Woven together they make for unforgettable, haunting reading' Simon Schama 'Absorbing, highly readable and painstakingly researched' Niall Ferguson 'Riveting' The Times 'Fascinating, scrupulously researched, compelling' Sunday Times 'Brave, engrossing, shocking' Herald 'Fascinating, compelling, highly recommended' Evening Standard
