Toward the Final Solution by George L Mosse

Originally published in 1978, Toward the Final Solution was one of the first in-depth studies of the evolution of racism in Europe, from the Age of Enlightenment through the Holocaust and Hitler's Final Solution.
Mosse claims once again his place in modern historiography as the foremost explicator and demythologizer of ideas which have inflamed and energized men's minds and worked irreversible evil in human history. . . Mosse has produced a strikingly original work whose conceptual brilliance and analytic keenness will surely make it the indispensable work on European racism."" - Commentary

""This is a grim book, and I wish it weren't such a necessary one. . . . Mosse tells the story well."" - Boston Globe

""Mosse has done more than any other historian to trace racism to its intellectual and social roots. . . . A brilliant study."" - Publishers Weekly

""A talented historian entered a neglected field of study and opened the doors of serious scholarship to a topic that will no longer be sidestepped by others too timid to lead. A pioneering volume of great significance."" - Annals of the American Academy

Over his career he authored more than two dozen books.
