The Living Hell of the Swastika. The most shocking revelation in all of World War II was the incredible fact that Hitler's Death Camps had annihilated six million human beings. The Theory And Practice Of Hell is the full and unexpurgated account of the activities of Hitler's dreaded S.S. - the masters of the most vicious system of sadistic cruelty in the history of the world. Eugene Kogon, himself a survivor of Buchenwald, has written an unsparing account of the fiendish system that tortured and killed millions of men, women and children for the greater glory of the Third Reich. --- from book's back cover

This is the Berkley trade paperback edition of Samuel R. Delany's The Jewel-Hinged Jaw, from 1978. The impact of its demonstration that science fiction was a special language, rather than just gadgets and green-skinned aliens, began reverberations still felt in science fiction criticism. This edition includes two new essays, one written at the time and one written about those times, as well as an introduction by writer and teacher Matthew Cheney, placing Delany's work in historical context. Close textual analyses of Thomas M. Disch, Ursula K. Le Guin, Roger Zelazny, and Joanna Russ read as brilliantly today as when they first appeared. Essays such as "About 5,750 Words" and "To Read The Dispossessed" first made the book a classic; they assure it will remain one.
