Goering

This is a major biography of Hitler's Reichsmarschall Hermann Goering, based on his hitherto undiscovered diaries and private and official documents. The author analyzes how Goering intrigued and conspired to bring Hitler to power, how he directed Nazi Germany's industrial resurgence, commanded the Luftwaffe and served as Hitler's aide through the years of struggle, triumph and decline. Documentary sources used in this book include Goering's surviving diaries, his combat reports from von Richtofen's squadron, the love letters of his first wife, the medical dossier on his morphine use, shorthand records of Reich Air Ministry conferences and information from American depositories which reveals evidence of Goering's art-looting. David Irving has written more than 20 books including "The War Path: Hitler's Germany 1933-1939", "The Trail of the Fox: The Life of Field-Marshall Erwin Rommel" and "The Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe".
