Dickinson. 387 pp. with bibliography, index. Biography of one of prominent Nazis of Hitler's regime, Joseph Goebbles. He was an unlikely candidate for prestige and power within the Third Reich, a frustrated artist who turned to politics only as a last resort. Unable to get his novel published or to secure an editorial position in a respected German newspaper, Goebbles took to the speaker's podium. Then he "discovered" Adolph Hitler. Under Hitler's tutelage, his values shifted from traditional German Catholicism to those of the Nazis. He would go on to become the infamous Propaganda Minister of the Reich. He would serve Hitler faithfully and devotedly all the way through the final days. On the day after Hitler's suicide in the bunker in Berlin, Goebbles poisoned his six children who along with his wife were also in the bunker and later in the evening, he and his wife shot themselves. Fine / fine. Item #E36403
