Synopses & Reviews
Fifty years after his death, Goering continues to stir debate. Was he a master tactician on the level of Rommel, or an obedient servant of his mad Fuehrer? Was he an administrator ranking with Goebbels and Himmler, or a lazy glory-seeker as much responsible for the Nazi defeat as Hitler? This analytical new biography draws on files (with over 50 photos) from former East German archives. Follow the author's argument and see if you agree that Goering's undoing was to put his fear of Hitler and devotion to ideology ahead of his military knowledge and patriotism.
