'Lozowick presents a convincing story...'Times Literary Supplement 'Considered solely as a piece of historical scholarship, Hitler's Bureaucrats is an impeccable piece of work. But Lozowick...writes not as a disinterested scholar but as a human being...and it is his moral analysis of the 'banality of evil' argument that lay readers will find most compelling.'Book Magazine 'An important book.'Library Journal
