En savoir plus sur le livre
An unprecedented narrative of the Nazi rise to power, the Holocaust, and Hitler's post-invasion plans for Russia unfolds through the recently discovered lost diary of Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler's 'philosopher' and architect of Nazi ideology. This groundbreaking historical work provides a chilling glimpse into the mind of Rosenberg, who formulated key principles behind the Third Reich's genocidal agenda. It also recounts the thrilling detective hunt for Rosenberg's diary, which vanished after the Nuremberg Trials and remained lost for nearly 75 years, until Robert Wittman, a former FBI special agent and founder of the Bureau's Art Crimes Team, played a key role in its recovery. The authors expertly contextualize over 400 pages of diary entries from 1936 to 1944, where Rosenberg details internal meetings with Hitler and associates like Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler, explores rivalries within the Nazi leadership, and discusses the post-invasion occupation of the Soviet Union. He also reflects on the "solution" to the "Jewish question" and his oversight of the mass seizure of books and artwork from occupied Europe. This narrative offers provocative insights into pivotal moments in the war and the notorious figure who laid the philosophical foundations of the Third Reich.
