a Stolen Life

A groundbreaking historical contribution, The Devil's Diary is a chilling window into the mind of Adolf Hitler's chief social philosopher, Alfred Rosenberg, who formulated some of the guiding principles behind the Third Reich's genocidal crusade. It also chronicles the thrilling detective hunt for his diary, which disappeared after the Nuremberg Trials and remained lost for almost three quarters of a century, until Robert Wittman a former FBI special agent played an important role in its recovery. This narrative of Rosenberg's diary offers provocative and intimate insights into pivotal moments in the war and the life of a notorious Nazi who laid the philosophical foundations of the Third Reich.
