"Ordinary Men" recounts the stories of various situations where police
officers, townspeople and regular civilians were forced to commit acts
of murder on Jews. Browning gives the readers the historical text of
the vignettes that he talks about.
The book serves as an text that explores the motives of perpetrators
and the emotional toll that regular people are forced to deal with as
a result of mass murdering Jews.
I personally found the book to be a bit dull due to its lack of
narrative and its lengthy historical timelines that make the book
appear more like a history text instead of a memoir or nonfiction
text.
