Into the Darkness

Theodore Lothrop Stoddard (June 29 1883 - May 1 1950) was an American political scientist historian journalist anthropologist eugenicist pacifist and anti-immigration advocate who wrote a number of books which are cited by historians as prominent examples of early 20th-century scientific racism. During World War II he wrote Into the Darkness about the effect of war on Nazi Germany. Stoddard was relatively nonpartisan in his coverage of the Nazi regime but he did express concern for the welfare of the European Jewish community foreseeing intense violence against the Jews.
