Goring by David Irving

Delve into the life of Hermann Göring, Hitler’s charismatic yet ruthless Reichsmarschall, through David Irving’s definitive biography. This meticulously researched volume draws on Göring’s personal diaries, secret correspondence and newly opened archives to chart his meteoric rise as a WWI flying ace, his pivotal role in creating the Nazi police state and Luftwaffe, his plunder of European art and opulent lifestyle, and his descent into addiction and defeat. Irving paints a nuanced portrait of the “six‑star” general who charmed allies and terrified enemies, offering fresh insight into his influence on Hitler, the power struggles within the Third Reich and the moral decay behind the pageantry. Rich with maps, photographs and footnotes, this edition situates Göring’s story within the broader narrative of the Second World War. A must‑read for students of Nazi Germany and World War II.
