Abstract

It is important for scholars to understand the history of their disciplines; yet, the influence of Nazi associated scholars on modern disciplines has been shockingly understudied. A new book, The Betrayal of the Humanities, provides an important work of historiography which digs into the role of the scholars and universities during the Third Reich and their lasting impact on the academy.
