We Read a Book! The Nazi and the Psychiatrist
About this episode
The episode features a discussion with author Jack El Hai about his book 'The Nazi and the Psychiatrist', exploring the psychological insights of Dr. Douglas Kelley during the Nuremberg Trials.
In this episode of We Read a Book! we talk to author Jack El Hai about his book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist. The book tells the story of Dr. Douglas Kelley, a US Army psychiatrist in charge of high level Nazis awaiting trial at Nuremberg at the close of WWII. If this sounds familiar it's because the book was made into a movie with the dreamy Rami Malek as Dr. Kelley and the scarily authentic Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring. So have a listen and learn why Dr. Kelley believed that any culture, including the US, could become fascist. Then READ the book to learn more.
