Author Description

Compiled by Heinrich Heim, Henry Picker, and Martin Bormann. Introduced and Annotated by R. P. Tomlinson. New edition with 618 new footnotes contextualising references, events, and personalities mentioned in the text. Also contains a new introduction and full index of topics. The full and complete edition of Adolf Hitler's private dinner conversations, which reveal the true thoughts of the Nazi leader-as opposed to his public pronouncements as a politician-on a vast range of topics. Taken surreptitiously at lunch and dinner tables by his personal assistants, these conversations relate Hitler's personal opinions on religion, economics, science, technology, the environment, society, history, art and much more besides. The manuscript-recovered directly from Martin Bormann's widow at the end of the war, (a partial copy of which is in the US Archives)-provides one of the most important insights into the man who created the Third Reich, and is invaluable for any person wishing to gain a greater understanding into this tragic period of history.
