The story of Hitler's war on 'degenerate' artists and the mentally ill that served as a model for the 'Final Solution'.

What The Reviewers Say

Kathryn Hughes,
The Guardian (UK)
English has written a terrific book, taut and thematic where it could so easily have been slack and baggy. Finding a focus cannot have been easy.
Gerard DeGroot,
The Times (UK)
The Gallery of Miracles & Madness is a superbly told story of worlds colliding.
Deborah Mason,
BookPage
This is not an abstract book of ideas.
Diane Cole,
Wall Street Journal
[A] penetrating chronicle.
