  1. Robert Harris _ Munich

    This is what I have learned these past six years, as opposed to what is taught in Oxford: the power of unreason. Everyone said-by everyone I mean people like me-we all said, 'Oh, he's a terrible fellow, Hitler, but he's not necessarily all bad. Look at his achievements. Put aside this awful medieval anti-Jew stuff: it will pass.' But the point is, it won't pass. You can't isolate it from the rest. It's there in the mix. And if the anti-Semitism is evil, it's all evil. Because if they're capable of that, they're capable of anything.
