Goering

In Goering, Roger Manvell and Heinrich Fraenkel use first-hand testimonies and a variety of historical documents to tell the story of a monster lurking in Hitlers shadows. After rising through the ranks of the German army, Hermann Goering became Hitlers right hand man and was hand-picked to head the Luftwaffe, one of historys most feared fighting forces. As he rose in power, though, Goering became disillusioned and was eventually shunned from Hitlers inner circle. Alone at the end, he faced justice at the Nuremberg trials and was convicted of war crimes and crime against humanity. He committed suicide in prison before he could be hanged. Within these pages, Manvell and Fraenkel bring to life one of historys most complicated and hated characters.
