Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen, a Prussian aristocrat, began a secret diary in May 1936, which describes how a psychosis enveloped an entire society, enabling Hitler’s rise to power, and the Nazi regime.
His insider observations are set down with passion, with outrage, and almost unbearable sadness.
This is a non fiction masterpiece about the comprehension of evil. The text has been translated by Paul Rubens and this edition has an introduction by Norman Stone.
