Tom's Reviews > Goebbels: A Biography

This is first of all a biography of Goebbles, and he is found on almost every page. Not a rehash of the usual history of the The Third Reich. Very refreshing, thought provoking, and not dry (something Longerich is rather known for). Brilliant psychological profile of Goebbles. Very interesting character. Definitely one of the most intelligent, yet tortured personalities of Nazi Germany. The book actually gets better and better as it moves toward the insane end of the Propaganda Minister's life. I loved the short chapters, broken up into smaller sections. Many chapters are 2 to 5 pages long with titles, subheadings, and explanatory notes where necessary. The book is also strictly chronological (I hate how some authors skip all over the place in the timeline). Highly recommended.
