Visit Dan McMillan's website at http://www.drdanmcmillan.com/ Dan McMillan holds a Ph.D. in History from Columbia University and a law degree from Fordham University School of Law. He has published scholarly work in both history and law, and has worked as prosecuting attorney and as a history professor. He lives in New York City and writes about history and politics. How Could This Happen is Dr. McMillan's first book and is the result of nearly four decades of engagement with German history and the Holocaust. Reading Simon Wiesenthal's The Murderers Among Us as a teenager, Dan felt compelled to understand how something so horrific could have been possible. His quest for an explanation has shaped the course of McMillan's life ever since: he became completely fluent in the German language, studied History and German at Stanford, spent his junior year at the Freie Universität in what was then West Berlin, earned a Ph.D. in German history at Columbia, taught at universities in New York, New Jersey and Illinois, read everything he could on the Holocaust, constantly refined his understanding of its causes, and searched relentlessly for ways to explain these causes clearly and concisely. Across this long search for answers, Dan found countless specialized studies that addressed this or that cause of the Holocaust in isolation from the others - books on anti-Semitism, or racism, or World War I, or psychological factors, and so on. Yet there was no book that put all these pieces of the puzzle together in an overarching explanation. In How Could This Happen, Dan McMillan aims to fill this need by providing a coherent analysis of the many causes of the Holocaust.
