The Morality of War
I had really high hopes for this book and I was pretty disappointed. As the title and the jacket description suggest, I was expecting the book to be mostly made up of psychiatric nurses' experiences during the Nazi reign in Germany and how it impacted their moral choices.
Instead a lot of the book was about the history of the psychiatric movement pre-National Socialist government and pre-World War II, how nurses were treated by their superiors, what kind of people were hired as nurses, and then discussion regarding the National Socialist government and how it affected the nurses involved in psychiatric care. Only one chapter was devoted to the actual killings in psychiatric hospitals and even then a lot of the discussion was about how nurses choices were made for them, and not how they made their own moral decisions. It left me with a lot of questions about the role of nurses in the psychiatric units in Germany and their role in the euthanasia program.
Also, while this may seem a little nit-picky, the author uses italics all the time, at least once per page, often more than that. It was actually annoying because it interrupted the flow of the argument often.
This book could have been really amazing, but it just wasn't.
