In this masterly researched and subtly conceptualized in-depth analysis of the infamous Police Battalion 101, Stefan Kuhl shows hauntingly how the normality of constraints, enrichment, comradeship, routine, and legality enabled Nazi perpetrators to achieve the ultimate abnormality. Ordinary Organizations will soon be considered as one of the key inquiries into the Holocaust. Thomas Kuhne, Clark University An extremely interesting book, engaging with theoretical approaches to understanding the Holocaust. Kuhl makes a strong case for the explanatory power of organizational sociology in understanding how ordinary men could be brought to engage in acts of killing without seeing themselves as perpetrators. A controversial and stimulating read. Mary Fulbrook, University College London
