Books by Daniel Jonah Goldhagen

Daniel Jonah Goldhagen is a former associate professor of political science and social studies at Harvard University. Hitler's Willing Executioners, based on his doctoral dissertation, was his first book. He subsequently wrote A Moral Reckoning, examining the role of the Catholic Church in the Holocaust, and Worse Than War, on genocide as a political phenomenon. The reception of Hitler's Willing Executioners — enthusiastic among the public, largely critical among specialists — raised enduring questions about the relationship between popular history and academic scholarship.
