The material on Freud and Moses as well as his Jewish identity has been present for many years in Peter Gay's classic biography of Freud. Throw in Ernest Jones much older and protective biography and you got very little new in this book. Using in the Nazis as a hook for regurgitation of old hat material strikes me as sensationalism and exploitation. Now, if the author had devoted his book to the trials of Anton Sauerwald-then we would have something that is needed for those that do not have the means of acquiring and translating the trial transcripts.
