Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A very difficult read, but important. The Nazi leaders come across as cowards of the first order, often delusional, not able to rethink the premises that got them into trouble (except for Speer who sometimes does and sometimes doesn't), and still in love with Hitler.

Publisher's description: While the trial of Hitler's fallen elite at Nuremberg has been thoroughly documented, the interval between the Nazis' capture in May and June 1945 and the start of the actual trial in late November has until now remained shrouded in shadow. With Interrogations, acclaimed historian Richard Overy opens a new window into the Third Reich, providing an intimate glimpse of the savage dictatorship in its death throes. More than thirty transcripts of the interrogations are reproduced here for the first time, allowing us to hear the voices of the newly captured "Hitler gang"--Including Gr̲ing, Speer, and Hess--as they squirmed under the Allies' glare. Interrogations is the stark and disturbing history of defeat; it lays bare as never before the human weaknesses that made the Third Reich possible. No library descriptions found. |
