The passing of the great race; or, The racial basis of European history by Grant
"The Passing of the Great Race; or, The Racial Basis of European History" by Madison Grant is a racist and pseudoscientific book published in 1916. Grant argues for Nordic racial superiority and advocates eugenics, including forced sterilization of those deemed "undesirable." The work divides Europeans into three races and claims Nordic peoples face extinction through immigration and interbreeding. Hitler praised the book as "his Bible," and it influenced Nazi ideology.
