  • "Through the eyes of Dr. Max Aue, a former Nazi officer, a cultivated yet monstrous man, we experience the horrors of the Second World War and the Nazi genocide of the Jews in graphic, disturbingly precise detail. During the period from June 1941 through April 1945, Max is posted to Poland, the Ukraine, and the Caucasus; he is present at the Battle of Stalingrad, at Auschwitz and Cracow; he visits occupied Paris and lives through the chaos of the final days of the Nazi regime in Berlin. Although Max is a totally imagined character, his world is peopled by real historical figures, such as Eichmann, Himmler, Gr̲ing, Speer, Heydrich, Hs̲s, and Hitler himself."

  • "Der fiktive Lebensbericht eines hohen SS-Offiziers, ein Epos, das ein detailgenaues Bild des Zweiten Weltkriegs und der Verfolgung und Vernichtung der Juden durch die Nationalsozialisten zeichnet."
  • "Vers 1980, un paisible Franco-Allemand termine sa carrière comme directeur d'une usine de dentelle du nord de la France. Quarante ans plus tôt, il était un rigoureux fonctionnaire SS, chargé d'inspecter et de surveiller le bon déroulement des opérations d'élimination sur le front de l'Est. A travers une sorte d'enquête autobiographique, il va se lancer sur ses propres traces. Premier roman."
  • "Dr. Max Aue, who is hiding his past as a Nazi officer while living the life of an entrepreneur and family man in northern France, remembers horrifying acts of violence he committed during World War II."
  • "Named one of the "100 Best Books of the Decade" by The Times of London "Oh my human brothers, let me tell you how it happened." A former Nazi officer, Dr. Maximilien Aue has reinvented himself, many years after the war, as a middle-class family man and factory owner in France. An intellectual steeped in philosophy, literature, and classical music, he is also a cold-blooded assassin and the consummate bureaucrat. Through the eyes of this cultivated yet monstrous man we experience in disturbingly precise detail the horrors of the Second World War and the Nazi genocide of the Jews. Eichmann, Himmler, GOring, Speer, Heydrich, HOss'even Hitler himself'play a role in Max's story. An intense and hallucinatory historical epic, The Kindly Ones is also a morally challenging read. It holds a mirror up to humanity'and the reader cannot look away."@en
