    About this audiobook

    An unprecedented, page-turning narrative of the Nazi rise to power, the Holocaust, and Hitler’s post-invasion plans for Russia told through the recently discovered lost diary of Alfred Rosenberg – Hitler’s ‘philosopher’ and architect of Nazi ideology.

    Only recently discovered by former FBI agent Robert Wittman, the diary of Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg, who led the Nazi party when Hitler was interned in 1923, is a ground-breaking document and an object of rumour, obsession and evil. Filled with observations, conversations and Nazi plans, it gives new details of Hitler’s rise to power and personal governance of the Reich. Not simply the Nazi ideological progenitor, Rosenberg was a core member of Hitler’s inner circle: his ideas for the Third Reich and the destruction it wrought laid the foundations for a brainwashed nation and gave its people the justification for the slaughter of millions; he helped plan the Nazi invasion and subsequent occupation of the Soviet Union and was named Reich Minister for the Eastern Territories.

    With the first access to the diary's contents, ‘The Devil’s Diary’ is the thrilling story of Rosenberg; Robert Kempner, the German-born Jewish Nuremberg lawyer who prosecuted Göring and Frick and stole the diary; Henry Mayer, the archivist who has doggedly been searching for it for decades; and Bob Wittman, the former FBI agent who finally found it and returned it to its rightful place.

    • 5/5
      The reader us really marvellous. Very interesting book really fascinating.
    • 3/5
      There is a general sloppiness in the language - a general “jets off” on honeymoon in 1937 for instance. The narrator is constantly breathless with ham fisted melodrama. The author doesn’t like Kempner at all and this antipathy mars what otherwise is a very revealing counterpoint. I was left wondering whether Kempner might not have had a brilliant career in the Nazi hierarchy had things been just a little bit different.
    • 5/5
      Very interesting and well written book. I really enjoyed this.
    • 4/5
      This is a multi-faceted jewel of a book. The authors recount the history of Alfred Rosenberg's diary being discovered being made available for study and display. They trace the history of the rise of Nazism from its earliest days. Lastly, they give an inside view of the ease by which intelligent men could put aside moral behavior when blinded by terrible ideology.

    • 5/5
      Brilliant, and contains one of my favorite sentences of all time. Regarding Rosenberg: "He had all the charm of a mortician."
