As head of the Luftwaffe Hermann Goering began as Hitler's showpiece but ended as his scapegoat. A First World War ace, Hermann Goering's extraordinary life is a mass of contradictions: his sportsman's code would not allow him to slaughter a tame deer, yet he thought nothing of having blood purges and fully supported concentration camps. He enshrined the memory of his first wife, the Nordic mystic Karin, in his vast Wagnerian Karinhall and filled it with art masterpieces looted from across occupied Europe. It was Goering, the drug addict who made a last minute abortive attempt to succeed Hitler, and in desperation demanded to meet with Eisenhower. The story of Hermann Goering is the shocking story of misuse of power and ultimate corruption. Frischauer tells it in a dramatic narrative, checked and rechecked in the course of sixteen visits to Germany over a five year period. He was also the first writer to be granted exclusive interviews with Goering's widow, the former actress Emmy Sonnemann, after her release from prison. A classic insight into Goering s life. USA first edition. Blue cloth boards, scuffed at corners with faded gilt wording and patterns on spine.Page edges slightly yellowed but otherwise in good condition with no tears or anything missing other than a dust-jacket. Book size: 145mm x 212mm 309 pages with several monochrome plates. First flyleaf stamp embossed.…
