Praise for DEAD FUNNY
"DEAD FUNNY isn't just a book of wildly off-limits humor. Rather, it's a fascinating, heartbreaking look at power dynamics, propaganda, and the human hunger for catharsis." --The Atlantic, Best Books of 2012
A riveting retelling of the Nazis' rise to power, framed entirely by the bar-room jokes and political satire of the time. --The Hollywood Reporter
Herzog's uses Nazi-era German humor as a basis for exposing the ethical shortcomings not only of those directly involved in crimes against humanity, but also of those who remained silent or claimed ignorance. --The New Republic
Dead Funny's real value lies in the way it situates anti-Nazi folk humor in the shifting historical context of this grim bygone era. --Time Out (New York)
