“Few comparisons with the human rights nightmare of Nazi-controlled Germany could be more accurate than the horror of Sparta and its quest for a race of super soldiers. Indeed, Hitler transformed Germany from a war-torn nation into a brutal regime of which genocide was a part; but in Sparta, ritual mass slaughter of human beings – particularly babies and serfs – and the turning of boys against one another for sport – was the very cornerstone of their culture. Human beings were raised from birth to death on the altar of Sparta’s cult of the super soldier.”
