RE: New book on Hitler and evolution

In view of the writing of his new book, "From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany," I was wondering if Richard Weikart is aware of the following book:

"German Responsibility in the Armenian Genocide: A Review of the Historical Evidence of German Complicity" by Vahakn N. Dadrian [Publisher: Blue Crane Books (May 1996) ISBN: 1886434018.] Hitler asked, just before he embarked on the destruction of European Jewry: "Who now remembers the Armenians?"

        I strongly recommend the following new book by my friend, historian Richard
        Weikart. I paste his message below.

        Ted,
        
        I would appreciate it if you could forward this to the ASA listserve:
        
        I'm happy to announce that my book, _From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary
        Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany_ has just been released by Palgrave
        Macmillan. It explores the impact of Darwinism on ethical and moral thought
        in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Germany, especially its role
        in undermining the Judeo-Christian sanctity-of-life ethic. I hope it will
        arouse some healthy controversy. For more information and endorsements, see

        Thanks,
