London - Melbourne - Torornto : Heinemann, 1960. xiii pp., 329 pp. Hardcover. 22 cm., few aging stains.  Photographs, facsimiles.  The book is a pioneering, deeply researched biography that chronicles the rise and fall of Joseph Goebbels, the notorious Minister of Propaganda for Nazi Germany. The book traces his trajectory from an embittered, physically disabled academic into Hitler's most fanatical ally, analyzing the cynical brilliance with which he weaponized radio, cinema, and the press to orchestrate mass brainwashing, enforce antisemitic hatred, and construct the messianic cult of the Führer. Drawing on contemporary documents, diaries, and firsthand interviews with his former associates, the authors provide a sharp psychological profile of Goebbels, culminating in a detailed account of his final days in the Berlin bunker, where his total ideological devotion led to the chilling murder-suicide of his family and himself as the regime collapsed.
