Hitler's ethic : the Nazi pursuit of evolutionary progress
In this book, Weikart helps unlock the mystery of Hitlers evil by vividly demonstrating the surprising conclusion that Hitler's immorality flowed from a coherent ethic. Hitler was inspired by evolutionary ethics to pursue the utopian project of biologically improving the human race. This ethic underlay or influenced almost every major feature of Nazi policy: eugenics (i.e., measures to improve human heredity, including compulsory sterilization), euthanasia, racism, population expansion, offensive warfare, and racial extermination. - Publisher. 1st ed. xiii, 254 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm
