Hardback. Etat : Good. There are books you read on a rainy Sunday with a cup of tea, and then there are books that make you put the tea down, stare out of the window for a moment, and wonder how humanity ever managed to survive itself. The Goebbels Diaries falls squarely into the latter category. Edited and introduced by the eminent historian Hugh Trevor-Roper, this 1978 edition presents the chilling final reflections of one of history?s most notorious propagandists. It isn?t comfortable reading, nor should it be, but it is undeniably fascinating as a historical document. This is not a celebration of its author?quite the opposite. The value of the diaries lies in exposing the warped thinking, self-delusion and relentless propaganda that characterised the dying days of the Third Reich. Reading them is rather like being given a backstage pass to one of history?s greatest disasters, only to discover that everyone behind the curtain is busily convincing themselves that the audience is still applauding while the theatre burns down. Trevor-Roper?s editorial work is the calm voice in the room, providing context where Goebbels provides fantasy. Without it, the diaries would simply be the ramblings of a man whose grasp on reality became increasingly elastic. With it, they become an important historical source, revealing not only events but the extraordinary capacity of ideology to twist perception until even obvious catastrophe is interpreted as inevitable victory. As sold by Crappy Old Books, this Good-condition Book Club Associates edition has already done what all worthwhile history books eventually do?it has survived its own era and quietly waited for another generation to discover it. It may have a few signs of previous ownership, but then so do most witnesses to history. The pages remain perfectly capable of delivering their sobering message, even if the dust jacket has seen a few more decades than Joseph Goebbels ever managed. This is one of those volumes that looks deceptively ordinary on a shelf. Slip it between gardening manuals and cookbooks and nobody would suspect that inside lurks an unsettling first-hand account of one of the darkest chapters of the twentieth century. It is perhaps the literary equivalent of finding a hand grenade in the stationery drawer?unexpected, slightly alarming, and definitely deserving of careful handling. Collectors of military history, students of the Second World War, and anyone interested in understanding how propaganda operates will find it compelling. Not because it offers answers, but because it demonstrates, often with startling clarity, how intelligent people can construct elaborate worlds of fiction while reality steadily closes in around them. So if your idea of bedtime reading is something that leaves you questioning civilisation rather than merely wondering who committed the murder in chapter three, this could be just the ticket. It?s not cheerful, it isn?t light, and it certainly won?t improve your faith in mankind?but it is an important reminder that history?s greatest warnings are often written by the very people who never realised they were writing them. Even at Crappy Old Books, we occasionally acquire a volume that reminds us that some books are valuable not because they tell us what to think, but because they show us, in uncomfortable detail, what happens when nobody does.

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression. Some edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight yellowing and dust staining to largely white jacket, slight browning to page block. Not price clipped (£7.50), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy for its age. 368pp, illustrated. This volume presents material surviving from the period between Feb 27th and April 9th 1945, the period of the collapse of the Third Reich. Hugh Trevor-Roper (1914-2003), then an intelligence officer in Berlin, was ordered to investigate the circumstances of Adolf Hitler's death and to rebut the propaganda of the Soviet government that Hitler was alive and living somewhere in the West. Using the alias of Major Oughton, he interviewed politicians, military men, and supporting staff, which were present in the Führerbunker with Hitler, and who had been able to escape to the West, including Bernd Freytag von Loringhoven. The ensuing investigation resulted in this book, in which he described the last ten days of Hitler's life, and the fates of some of the higher ranking members of the inner circle as well of those lesser figures whose evidence was important for reconstructing this penultimate chapter of the war. Trevor-Roper transformed the evidence he gathered during his fact finding mission, evidence that was often lurid, confused, and plain wrong, into a literary work, with sardonic humour and drama, that brings out incidentally how much he was influenced by the rhetorical prose styles of two of his favourite historians, Edward Gibbon and Thomas Babington Macaulay. In response to 'The Last Days of Hitler' Trevor-Roper received a death threat from the Stern Gang for his supposed over emphasis on Hitler's charisma, which the authors of the death threat felt had exonerated the German people. His reputation was seriously damaged in 1983 when after a brief examination he authenticated the Hitler Diaries, which were subsequently shown to be forgeries. A scarce book.
