About this ebook
In Goering, Roger Manvell and Heinrich Fraenkel use first-hand testimonies and a variety of historical documents to tell the story of a monster lurking in Hitler’s shadows.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. Within these pages, Manvell and Fraenkel bring to life one of history’s most complicated and hated characters.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting, fast read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I'm fascinated with history. I bought this book out of curiosity. I never knew much of Goering. To learn why and how he fell into Hitler's regime was interesting.
This book does a great job in detailing how complex Goering was. A self centered man that was obsessed with the finer things in life. I learned how hatred and jealousy were a huge factor behind Hitler and his army.
For a history lover, I suggest this book. It was a slow read for me, but well worth it.
