The commandant : Rudolf Höss, the creator of Auschwitz

This is a biography of the architect and creator of the most notorious death camp in history. Höss pioneered research into the methods of mass extermination which were later applied across Europe. Using first hand accounts, Baxter tells his story and debunks many of the myths surrounding him.

Baxter has written the definitive account of Rudolf Hoss, the Commandant of Auschwitz, the concentration camp where between 1,100,000 and 1,500,000 men, women and children were murdered by the Nazis. The Commandant reads with an urgency and a moral commitment which belong to the finest fiction.

Baxter delivers the most chilling chronicle on Hoss using the experiences of his victims, his friends and collaborators, and the memoirs of Hoss himself. Baxter debunks many of the myths surrounding the leading Nazi's crimes, trials and execution.
