Historical Material Policy ->About the books
A military conference, a propaganda broadcast, a private family letter: these three biographies approach Nazi leadership through different kinds of records. The set brings together David Irving’s accounts of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich Himmler, combining political history with the rivalries and private lives of their subjects.
Inside the set
- Hitler’s War follows military and political decisions at Hitler’s headquarters through the war to April 1945. The combined Millennium Edition also includes The War Path, its pre-war narrative.
- Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich traces the propaganda minister from his student years and Nazi activism in Berlin through his control of press and broadcasting, his private relationships, Kristallnacht, total war and the final bunker days.
- True Himmler follows Himmler’s childhood, student politics, family life and rise to command the SS and German police. Its main chronological narrative ends in September 1939. An opening chapter disputes the official account of his death in British custody in 1945; it is the author’s allegation.
Diaries, letters, official records, interviews and photographs run through these works. Their sources do not make their conclusions definitive: Irving’s interpretations include apologetic and Holocaust-denying claims about Nazi persecution and genocide.
