First Edition. Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dust-wrapper. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new. Physical description; x, 513 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Summary; A groundbreaking World War II narrative wrapped in a riveting detective story, The Devil's Diary investigates the disappearance of a private diary penned by Alfred Rosenberg, Adolf Hitler's "chief philosopher," and mines its long-hidden pages to deliver a fresh, eye-opening account of the Nazi rise to power and the genesis of the Holocaust. An influential figure in Hitler's inner circle from the start, Alfred Rosenberg made his name spreading toxic ideas about the Jews throughout Germany. By the dawn of the Third Reich, he had published a bestselling masterwork that was a touchstone of Nazi thought. Rosenberg's diary--500 pages offering a harrowing glimpse into the mind of the "intellectual high priest of the 'master race'"--Was discovered hidden in a Bavarian castle at war's end. Prosecutors examined it during the Nuremberg war crimes trial, but after Rosenberg was convicted, sentenced, and executed, it mysteriously vanished. Bestselling author Robert K. Wittman, who as an FBI agent and then a private consultant specialized in recovering artifacts of historic significance, first learned of the diary in 2001, when the chief archivist for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum contacted him to say that someone was trying to sell it for more than a million dollars. The phone call set off a decade-long hunt that took them on a twisting path involving a pair of octogenarian secretaries, an eccentric professor, and an opportunistic trash-picker. From the crusading Nuremberg prosecutor who smuggled the diary out of Germany to the man who finally turned it over, everyone had reasons for hiding the truth. Drawing on Rosenberg's entries about his role in the seizure of priceless artwork and the brutal occupation of the Soviet Union, his conversations with Hitler and his endless rivalries with Go?ring, Goebbels, and Himmler, The Devil's Diary offers vital historical insight of unprecedented scope and intimacy into the innermost workings of the Nazi regime--and the psyche of the man whose radical vision gave rize to the Final Solution.--Adapted from dust jacket. Subjects; Rosenberg, Alfred, -- 1893-1946 -- Journaux intimes. Rosenberg, Alfred, -- 1893-1946 -- Pensée politique et sociale. Hitler, Adolf, -- 1889-1945 -- Amis et relations. 1 Kg.…

Robert King "Bob" Wittman is a highly decorated former Federal Bureau of Investigation special agent who was assigned to the Philadelphia Field Division from 1988 to 2008. Having trained in art, antiques, jewelry and gem identification, Wittman served as the FBI's "top investigator and coordinator in cases involving art theft and art fraud". During his 20 years with the FBI, Wittman helped recover more than $300 million worth of stolen art and cultural property, resulting in the prosecution and conviction of numerous individuals. In 2005, he was instrumental in the creation of the FBI's rapid deployment Art Crime Team (ACT). He was instrumental in the recovery of colonial North Carolina's copy of the original Bill of Rights in 2005, after it was stolen by a Union soldier in 1865. Wittman represented the United States around the world, conducting investigations and instructing international police and museums in recovery and security techniques. After 20 years with the FBI working against art theft, he worked as an art security consultant for the private sector David Kinney is the author of The Devil's Diary: Alfred Rosenberg and the Stolen Secrets of the Third Reich written with retired FBI art crime expert Robert Wittman. It tells the story of the disappearance and recovery of Nazi Reich Minister Alfred Rosenberg's diary. Kinney also wrote The Dylanologists: Adventures in the Land of Bob (2014), a kaleidoscopic look at Bob Dylan through the lives of his fans and followers, and The Big One: An Island, an Obsession, and the Furious Pursuit of a Great Fish (2009), which follows the fanatical saltwater fishermen of Martha's Vineyard during the island's annual derby. His journalism has appeared in newspapers around the country, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and the Los Angeles Times.

This book provides vital insight of unprecedented scope and intimacy into the innermost working of the Nazi regime--and the psyche of the man whose radical vision gave rise to the Final Solution. Derived from a Kirkus review: A fascinating scholarly detective story centering on the often overlooked ideological architect of the Third Reich, who could never be made to "accept the notion that the ideas he had trumpeted had led to genocide." Bound up in this study of Alfred Rosenberg (1893-1946), whose influence on Nazi policy was constant until a late-in-the-game falling-out with Hitler, is a tale of how his diary wound up in the United States, now in the holdings of the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. That tale involves a Jewish lawyer who, ousted from his post in the German government by Hermann Göring, ended up in the U.S. advising the FBI and eventually returning to Germany to work for the prosecution at the Nuremberg trials. Robert Kempner (1899-1993) was no less diligent an archivist than the Nazi regime he detested, and, write former FBI investigator Wittman and journalist Kinney, he "spent four years immersed in the documentary evidence of the Nazi crimes." Moreover, brilliant as a researcher and litigator while also a first-class hoarder, he squirreled away some of that documentary evidence in his own archives, including Rosenberg's diary. The picture that long-missing diary affords of those Nazi crimes does not remake our understanding, but it certainly adds to it. When Rosenberg grimly writes, "some still haven't yet understood.that things have to be calculated differently now," he is signaling the onset of the extermination of Europe's Jews. The authors do an excellent job of teasing out the fine details and placing them in the larger context, in the bargain offering overdue acknowledgment of Kempner's many contributions to the short-lived effort to bring Nazis to judgment. A footnote to a much larger story but a welcome one. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated].…

Hardcover in Dustjacket. Zustand: As new. 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.Only recently discovered by former FBI agent Robert Wittman, the diary of Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg, who led the Nazi party when Hitler was interned in 1923, is a ground-breaking document and an object of rumour, obsession and evil. Filled with observations, conversations and Nazi plans, it gives new details of Hitler's rise to power and personal governance of the Reich. Not simply the Nazi ideological progenitor, Rosenberg was a core member of Hitler's inner circle: his ideas for the Third Reich and the destruction it wrought laid the foundations for a brainwashed nation and gave its people the justification for the slaughter of millions; he helped plan the Nazi invasion and subsequent occupation of the Soviet Union and was named Reich Minister for the Eastern Territories.With the first access to the diary's contents, 'The Devil's Diary' is the thrilling story of Rosenberg; Robert Kempner, the German-born Jewish Nuremberg lawyer who prosecuted GÃ ring and Frick and stole the diary; Henry Mayer, the archivist who has doggedly been searching for it for decades; and Bob Wittman, the former FBI agent who finally found it and returned it to its rightful place.pp. 528 illusts.
