ANTHROPOID | Standing Up to Evil

Sean Ellis’ ANTHROPOID recounts the extraordinary true story of how two Czechoslovak patriots, Jan Kubiš (Jamie Dornan) and Jozef Gabčík (Cillian Murphy) risked everything to take out Reinhard Heydrich in 1942.

Hitler's Hangman

"This admirable biography makes plausible what actually happened and makes human what we might prefer to dismiss as monstrous."—Timothy Snyder, Wall Street Journal

"Supremely enlightening."—Jacob Heilbrunn, The New York Times Book Review

"Gerwarth’s approach is subtle, painstaking and psychologically acute; it convincingly demonstrates that the historian’s tool of 'cold empathy' best clarifies the enduring question of what brings forth monsters."—Roy Foster, Times Literary Supplement (Books of the Year)

"Hitler’s Hangman: The Life of Heydrich by Robert Gerwarth is superb on the making of evil."—Frank Dikotter, The Daily Telegraph (Books of the Year)

"At the subsequent grand public funeral, Nazi leaders eulogized Heydrich as the perfect Nazi. This intelligent and readable biography shows how he had made himself into one, and Gerwarth explains persuasively what motivated Heydrich to do so."—Richard J. Evans, Times Higher Education

"A chilling study of the man who masterminded the Holocaust...Heydrich was inhumanely cruel, ruthless, devious, shameless, a sixteen hour a day workaholic who was feared and loathed even by his closest colleagues.' -- The Daily Telegraph

'An impressive mix of psychological analysis, biography and historical reporting...Dederichs descends into Heydrich's personal abyss and describes it in a captivating and intelligible manner while not rejecting the scientific approach.' - Die Rheinische
