The Hitler Book
Edited
by Henrik Eberle and Matthias Uhl A compelling first-hand narrative of a decade of service in Hitler’s headquarters, for over fifty years the testimony of his two closer assistants was kept under lock and key in a Russian archive. Never before published in its entirety, it is groundbreaking not only as one of the most authentic sources of information on the Third Reich and its innermost circles but also as a portrait of a tyrant for a tyrant. An unexpected and original perspective on the Third Reich and its leader, and a timely reminder that the heart of the terrible transformation wrought by the European crisis in the twentieth century was the contest between two extraordinary tyrants.
