Through analyses of three eventful years in Nazi Germany's history, this book offers a new account of the phenomenon of extreme state violence as a special category of violence, in which the armed forces are used unnecessarily and excessively, often on thin pretexts, and only rarely with the intention of carrying a message to the public.

Emanuel Marx is Professor Emeritus of Social Anthropology at Tel Aviv University, Israel. He is the author of Bedouin of the Negev, The Social Context of Violent Behaviour and Bedouin of Mount Sinai and editor of A Composite Portrait of Israel.
