The S.S.

Officer's Armchair is a gripping investigation into the life of a single S.S.

officer during World War Two, revealing the tragic experience of a generation of Europeans through an astonishing narrative of ambition and intimacy in the Third Reich.

This book weaves detection with biography to tell the story of Dr.

Robert Griesinger, a lawyer from Stuttgart who joined the S.S.

and worked at the Reich's Ministry of Economics and Labor in Nazi-occupied Prague.

Through an unforeseen connection between Griesinger and the murder of his own relatives in the Holocaust, the book grapples with potent questions about blame, manipulation, and responsibility.

With a unique blend of history and detective work, The S.S.

Officer's Armchair provides a window into the lives of Hitler's millions of followers and sheds light on the complexities of human nature during times of war and oppression.
