George Pitt-Rivers and the Nazis

George Pitt-Rivers began his career as one of Britain's most promising young anthropologists, conducting research in the South Pacific and publishing articles in the country's leading academic journals.

By the early 1930s, however, Pitt-Rivers had turned from his academic work to embrace the rise of far-right politics.

This book traces the remarkable career of a man who might have been remembered as one of Britain's leading 20th century anthropologists but instead became involved in a milieu that would result in his professional ruin and the relegation of most of his research to margins of scientific history.
