Omschrijving
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.
‘This engaging book deftly combines the various strands of the story … Lively and well written … Part detective story, part history book it restores Rosenberg to his rightful place … A fascinating read’ The Times
‘Cannot be recommended too highly’ New York Journal of Books
‘A fascinating scholarly detective story centring on the often overlooked ideological architect of the Third Reich . . . The authors do an excellent job of teasing out the fine details and placing them in the larger context, in the bargain offering overdue acknowledgement of Kempner's many contributions to the short-lived effort to bring Nazis to judgement. A footnote to a much larger story but a welcome one’ Kirkus
Praise for Robert K Wittman:
‘A rollicking memoir … investigative details dazzle … Priceless can read at times, not unpleasantly, as if an art history textbook got mixed up at the printer with a screenplay for ‘The Wire’’ New York Times
‘Almost every case he recounts has enough intrigue and suspense for a Hollywood screenplay’ Washington Post
‘Genius … riveting … should be a TV series’ Los Angeles Times
Robert K Wittman served as the FBI's top investigator in cases involving art theft for 20 years. He helped recover more than $300 million worth of stolen art, resulting in the prosecution and conviction of numerous individuals. Now an art security consultant for the private sector, Wittman published his memoir ‘Priceless’ in 2010 which he recounts his career as an undercover agent.
