Summary:
Ace reportage on the unique relationship between a prison physician and one of the Third Reich's highest ranking officials.
"In 1945, after his capture at the
end
of the Second World War,
Hermann
Göring
arrived at an American-run detention center in war-torn Luxembourg, accompanied by sixteen suitcases and a red hatbox. The suitcases contained all manner of paraphernalia: medals, gems, two cigar cutters, silk underwear, a hot water bottle, and the equivalent of $1 million in cash. Hidden in a coffee can, a set of brass vials housed glass capsules containing a clear liquid and a white precipitate: potassium cyanide. Joining
Göring
in the detention center were the elite of the captured
Nazi
regime -- Grand Admiral Dönitz; armed forces commander Wilhelm Keitel and his deputy Alfred Jodl; the mentally unstable Robert Ley; the suicidal Hans Frank; the pornographic propagandist Julius Streicher -- fifty-two senior Nazis in all, of whom the dominant figure was
Göring
. To ensure that the villainous captives were fit for trial at Nuremberg, the US army sent an ambitious army
psychiatrist
, Captain
Douglas
M
.
Kelley
, to supervise their mental well-being during their detention.
Kelley
realized he was being offered the professional opportunity of a lifetime: to discover a distinguishing trait among these arch-criminals that would mark them as psychologically different from the rest of humanity. So began a remarkable relationship between
Kelley
and his captors, told here for the first time with unique access to
Kelley
's long-hidden papers and medical records.
Kelley
's was a hazardous quest, dangerous because against all his expectations he began to appreciate and understand some of the
Nazi
captives, none more so than the former Reichsmarshall,
Hermann
Göring
. Evil had its charms"--P. [2] of cover.
