Synopsis

This book offers a fresh examination of Germany's most influential Nazi leaders, exploring their backgrounds, education, and core beliefs. It presents evidence that the rise of Darwinism, eugenics, and race theory in the early 20th century laid the groundwork for the Nazi pursuit of a 'master race' and the subsequent extermination of European Jews, Gypsies, Blacks, most Slavs, and the Christian religion during the Holocaust. The widespread acceptance of social Darwinism, eugenics, and anti-Semitism within scientific and medical communities globally is shown to have facilitated mass murder, medical experimentation, and military conquest. The title unmasks the 'survival of the fittest' theory at the heart of Nazi ideology.
