At once genious and master of all he surveys, at other times a drug-addicted reprobate, this is one master biography. Irving does not let us down with this hard-knuckled story. The reader also gets a reare glimpse into the touching and tragic personal life of Goring. Exrtemely well written and riveting from first page to last. The last somewhat decent work from a Holocaust denier. Irving hides his pro-Nazism a bit in this one, as his more overt historical inanities and racialist politics would come out soon after he published this one. Irving's reputation as a historian collapsed in the decade after this book was published. He was still considered a quirky, if usable historian when he published this work. Irving's storytelling is great and his research is rigorous in this book. Once you know his biases towards the Nazis, or certain Nazis, you can find where he tries to whitewash history or make Göring look better. (All while making sure dumb generals and even Göring get the blame for losing the Second World War, not his vaunted Hitler.) The most glaring stupidity is where he translates "Endlösung der Judenfrage" not as "final solution to the Jewish question" abut the innocuous-sounding "final unraveling of the Jewish question." Still, it is a serviceable biography of Göring, and would be the best if you didn't know of Irving's later downfall and his ever-present biases. So, as a citable, reputable source, it probably should be used in small, judicious citations, not leaned on in any meaningful or heavy way. As such, it means that Leonard Mosley's The Reich Marshal: A Biography of Hermann Goering must still reign supreme as the best English language biography of Hermann Göring still around. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
