Praise for Goebbels Peter Longerich . . . has delved into rarely accessed material from his subject s diaries, which span thirty years, to paint a remarkable portrait of the man who became one of Hitler s most trusted lieutenants. The Daily Telegraph Praise for Heinrich Himmler There have been several studies of this enigmatic man, but Peter Longerich s massive biography, grounded in exhaustive study of the primary sources, is now the standard work and must stand alongside Ian Kershaw s Hitler, Ulrich Herbert s Best and Robert Gerwarth s Hitler s Hangman: The Life of Heydrich as one of the landmark Nazi biographies. As the author of a celebrated study of the Holocaust, Longerich is better able than his predecessors to situate Himmler within the vast machinery of genocide. And he brings to his task a gift for capturing those mannerisms that are the intimate markers of personality. London Review of Books [An] excellent and comprehensive biography. The New York Review of Books Supremely enlightening. The New York Times Admirably thorough and packed with facts . . . Students of World War II will likely find this the last word on its immediate subject. Kirkus Reviews Splendid . . . Longerich gives [Himmler s biography] a depth and breadth it has previously lacked. The Daily Telegraph [An] epically gripping portrait. The Independent
