This book and others on Intelligent Design and Evolution that are touted by
the Conservative Book Culb are nonsense. I say this as a member of CBC.
There was a strong Eugenics movement in the United States at the turn of the
20th Century. It was advocated by most of the leading Intellectuals of the
day. I do not believe this had anything to do with the Holocaust or Darwin.
