Step inside the complex world of Hermann Göring - fighter ace, Nazi statesman, art plunderer, and one of Adolf Hitler's closest confidants. In this landmark biography, bestselling historian David Irving draws upon Göring's personal diaries, secret correspondence, and newly opened archives to deliver a vivid, unflinching portrait of a man who embodied both the glamour and the corruption of the Third Reich. From service in World War I and his orchestration of the Gestapo and Luftwaffe, to his immense fortune, addiction, and dramatic fall, Göring's life reflects the moral and political collapse of Nazi Germany itself. Irving's narrative reveals the power struggles, psychological contradictions, and political intrigues that shaped the Nazi hierarchy and Europe's path to destruction. 639 Pages
