From a "Race of Masters" to a "Master Race": 1948 to 1848

A century of complicity-documented, dissected, undeniable.
From a Race of Masters to a Master Race: 1948 to 1848 is Volume 1 of a groundbreaking historical anthology tracing the global eugenics movement from its apex during the Holocaust back through its academic, scientific, and political origins.
Drawing from overlooked records, suppressed evidence, and original archival research, A.E. Samaan reveals the deep and disturbing transatlantic collaboration between American, British, and German institutions in shaping the ideas that led to racial hygiene laws, forced sterilizations, and mass murder. From the Nuremberg Trials to the role of the Pioneer Fund, from Julian Huxley's UNESCO to Ivy League labs and legal courts, the book exposes the scaffolding of ideology and power that supported Hitler's vision-long before his rise to power.
This is not just a history of Nazi eugenics. It is an autopsy of the scientific, legislative, and cultural currents that made it possible-and that continue to echo in modern bioethics, genetic policy, and national identity debates.

For readers of Robert Proctor, Edwin Black, Alexandra Minna Stern, and Timothy Snyder, this volume offers a crucial recalibration of how we remember, and how we forget.
