THE BIOGRAPHY OF ERHARD MILCH
The Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe
A fascinating look at the architect of both the Luftwaffe and Lufthansa. David Irving writes: "I visited [Erhard Milch] in 1967 in his D¸sseldorf apartment, where he lived with his niece, and he showed me a suitcase full of the diaries. He explained however that he was retaining them strictly for the use of whoever would write his biography. I volunteered at once, and thus came into possession of the diaries...."

PRAISED BY HENRY KISSINGER!
Göring. A Biography
"This is a very personal biography. Irving proves that Göring was, and is, an enigma. He survived in Irving's judgment through cunning, cruelty, a prodigious amorality and Hitler's loyalty to him. Irving's research effort is awesome."
-- Prof. Larry Thompson, The Chicago Tribune
"The book is a goldmine for aficionados of Nazi Germany."
-- Prof. Donald Cameron Watt, The Sunday Times
