About this listen

A penetrating biography of one of the most infamous members of the Nazi high command.

In Goering, Roger Manvell and Heinrich Fraenkel use firsthand testimonies and a variety of historical documents to tell the story of a monster lurking in Hitler's shadows. After rising through the ranks of the German army, Hermann Goering became Hitler's right hand man and was hand-picked to head the Luftwaffe, one of history's most feared fighting forces. As he rose in power, though, Goering became disillusioned and was eventually shunned from Hitler's 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. In this book, Manvell and Fraenkel bring to life one of history's most complicated and hated characters.

and interesting book to listen to, it was also informative in parts. I highly recommend this book. The narrator was extremely good.

Very easy read. Not filled with insignificant points just the important ones. A must read for those interested in The Third Reich

Well written

Try to say the name Goering in the most American way you can think of, then multiply that by ten.
If there’s a name with “Von” in it, he’ll give it a totally weird “German “ sounding noise.
Once again a good story ruined by a useless narrator.

Good book. great story makes him seam almost like a normal human despite being a horrible human shows his weakness. Seems almost a bit in favour of sympathising with Goering like he was helpless to follow orders. but narrators voice and monotone delivery made it hard to fully get into a flow

Engaging

If like myself your well into WW2 history, you wont be disappointed in this book. However there is nothing new in the telling of Goering's life. Nothing new in the historical documentary evidence. I think its almost recognised that everything has been well and truly dredged regarding this period of history, none the less, a good listen.

Great listening.... But nothing new.
