David Irving’s
famous biography of Reichsminister Dr. Joseph Goebbels.

A Note on the Internet Edition. This biography went through half a dozen
drafts between the handwritten original and the printed book. The final
typescript was completed on Sept. 7, 1994, and submitted to St Martins Press
(SMP) that winter. That is the full-length text reproduced here.
After the contract was signed, the
biography went through the normal editing processes, being appraised, according
to SMP’s editor Thomas Dunne, by seven different editors.
At SMP’s suggestion the earlier
chapters were substantially cut back in editing. In Feb. 1996 the „Anti-Defamation
League of the B’nai Brith,“ a New York based Jewish body, began agitating
against SMP and Doubleday Inc., who had announced this work as their History
Book Club selection for May 1996. The publishers initially announced that they
would not surrender to the ADL intimidation, but on Apr. 6, 1996 they did just
that. The book never appeared in the United States.
This Internet edition is the gift of
the author and his publishing imprint Focal Point to the academic and student
world. We ask only that the intellectual and copyrights be respected.
