Historical Material Policy ->Inside the machinery of propaganda and power
Drawing on 80,000 pages of Joseph Goebbels's diaries and six years of archival research, David Irving follows Hitler's propaganda minister from his early political ascent through the collapse of the Third Reich.
The narrative examines Goebbels's private writings, his relationship with Hitler, the organisation of National Socialist propaganda, the persecution of Germany's Jews, the conduct of total war, and the final days in Berlin. It is presented as an archival biography and a study of destructive political power.
This long-form listening edition has been produced from the current Irving Books text, with print-only page and illustration directions adapted or removed for audio.
