About this listen

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Selling Hitler by Robert Harris, read by David Rintoul.

Spring 1983: it seemed that one of the most startling discoveries of the century had been made, and that one of the world's most sought after documents had finally come to light - the private diaries of Adolf Hitler.What followed was a fiasco of fakery, greed, the duping of experts, and the exchange of extraordinary sums of money for world-wide publishing rights. But that was just the beginning of the story. . .

Critic reviews

A stunning and compelling story of human folly, duplicity and wishful thinking. Brilliantly researched and narrated, Selling Hitler is as fascinating and as telling today as it was forty years ago (William Boyd)
All stars

I remember this when I was young only very faintly, when the story in the Sunday Times was shown to be fake. The full saga is genuinely unbelievable were it not true. At every point you think it's all going to end, but of course what makes it even more gripping in a strange way is that you already know the ending, and its the amazing journey of how the diaries end up where they do.

Unbelievable

Stick with it. I just got more and more into it. Bit difficult to follow all the names but we'll worth persevering. Incredible story which if you've been involved in any type of corporate ego or politics it will be very familiar. Another great Robert Harris book

What a surprise

Fascinating investigation of incredible fraud, plumbing the depths of human avidity, gullibility, stupidity and sheer incompetence. Couldn't put the book down. Perfect performance by Rintoul. Will surely listen again.

brilliant
