{"product_id":"9780141000428","title":"Ordinary Men","description":"This detailed and harrowing study of a single group of mostly middle-aged policemen from provincial Germany has achieved classic status among histories of the Holocaust. Far from being demonic and hate-filled sadists, most of the group had  no history of anti-semitism or of far right politics. Browning explores the motivation of these men and the horribly familiar mechanisms of man-management and group solidarity that reduced a team of \"ordinary men\" into a bestial instrument  of madness. It is a book that offers no comfort to those who seek to explain the Holocaust in terms of German exceptionalism, but it is a significant contribution to the history of World War II.","brand":"Christopher R Browning","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45726551441726,"sku":"9780141000428","price":368.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780141000428_d4f3373e-9e2c-44d9-a67b-d769b38d852c.jpg?v=1707218632","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780141000428","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
