520 2 "This exploration of the private wartime diary of Alfred
Rosenberg--Hitler's 'chief philosopher' and architect of
Nazi ideology--interweaves the story of its recent
discovery with the revelation of its never-before-
published contents, which are contextualized by the
authors: The result is a unprecedented, page-turning
narrative of the Nazi rise to power, the Holocaust, and
Hitler's post-invasion plans for Russia. 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 the diary, which disappeared after the Nuremburg
Trials and remained lost for almost three quarters of a
century, until Robert Wittman, a former FBI special agent
who founded the Bureau's Art Crimes Team, played an
important role and tells his story now for the first time.
The authors expertly and deftly contextualize more than
400 pages of entries stretching from 1936 through 1944, in
which the loyal Hitler advisor recounts internal meetings
with the Führer and his close associates Hermann Göring
and Heinrich Himmler; describes the post-invasion
occupation of the Soviet Union; considers the 'solution'
to the 'Jewish question'; and discusses his overseeing of
the mass seizure and cataloguing of books and artwork from
homes, libraries, and museums across occupied Europe. An
eyewitness to events, this narrative of Rosenberg's diary
offers provocative and intimate insights into pivotal
moments in the war and the notorious Nazi who laid the
philosophical foundations of the Third Reich"--|cProvided
