Sam about The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El Hai:
“I was really looking forward to reading it. When it arrived, I dropped the book I was reading and picked it up right away. There’s something fascinating about a man who sat face-to-face with evil and tried to deconstruct it.
I didn’t know too much about the Nuremberg trial, so it was a really interesting window into that for me. Dr Kelley was troubled, brilliant, sometimes self-centred, just a fascinating life to follow. And I think the author wrote about him really eloquently.
The book ends with Kelley bringing home souvenirs from Nuremberg, like slides of Robert Ley’s brain and a vial of Goring’s painkillers. His son still had them when the book was written. It is wild, but it really stays with you.”

I am not usually a podcast person, as I find them typically a bit boring and often much too long. I wanted to comment on the podcast I just listened to. The professionalism and high quality of the podcast make it an easy listen. Being well organized and researched provides content that is much more than a regurgitation of the movie. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who wants an enjoyable listen
