An insightful new biography of Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister of the 'Third Reich' and one of the most important and troubling figures of the twentieth century. The first account to use all of Goebbels' surviving diaries, it sheds new light on his personality, private life and political convictions, as well as his relationship with Hitler.

Críticas

'...a welcome addition to the burgeoning library of 'perpetrator studies'.' - Literary Review

' a detailed and well-written insight into the man at the heart of the Nazi propaganda machine .In his examination of Goebbels, Toby Thacker has produced a valuable addition to the printed history of the 1930s and 1940s.' - Britain at War Magazine

'Thacker's reassessment is convincing and welcome. Crucially, his new biography is the first to be written since the entire set of Goebbels' diaries has been published. He writes well, and offers the reader a number of important new contentions and insights.' -BBC History Magazine

'Judicious, insightful and the first biography based on the entire available diary record. This book is a must for anybody interested in Hitler's Germany and the origins of the Holocaust'.

- Brendan Simms, Peterhouse, Cambridge University, UK

'[Thacker's] biography really is the first step towards a reassessment of the role and significance of Joseph Goebbels in National Socialism.' - Daniel Muhlenfeld, Bulletin, German Historical Institute London.

"...the author seeks to dispel at least some of the myths and legends surrounding Goebbels, which he discussed and considered at the beggining as a sort of stock-taking of the image of Goebbels still prevalant today." German Historical Institute London

Well-crafted account.

I had to write a paper about Goebbels and his propaganda ministry. I had a stack of books to pour through and this one was the best read. It effectively blends historical accounting and excerpts from his personal diaries. It flows chronologically which I appreciate as some "overly scholarly" tomes jump around time-wise and it can get confusing. The illustrations are scattered throughout the book as opposed to being in one clump in the middle. Thacker writes concisely without producing a dry work. An unsettling experience for me was that I felt myself getting closely acquainted with a man I consider despicable and this attests to the insightful nature of the book. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to know more about Goebbels and his relationship with Hitler and other people in the top ranks of the Nazi regime. Equally insightful are Goebbels comments about war especially with the Russians. All in all, a very good read for the student of the Third Reich as well as anyone wanting to read about one of the most contradictory, intelligent, delusional, and twisted men of the 20th Century.

A true Mephistopheles

This book draws largely from Goebbels’ diaries written between 1923 and 1945. From the very early days mention is made in them of his obsession against Jews (even though they represented less than 1% of the German population in the 1930’s.) It describes his rise in the ranks of the Nazi party and resulting closeness to Hitler to whom he remained devoted until the end, despite frustration with his increasing absenteeism. We are living with the character as we learn about his marital problems, womanizing, enmities and doubts up to and after the apex of Nazi success in 1942 and the heavy bombing of Germany and Allied advances that followed. Whereas, as Allied pressures increased, most of his colleagues retreated into isolation, he remained publicly active, continuing to encourage mass hysteria and xenophobia and giving propaganda a dirty name, cunningly making sure that there was enough truth in it so as to continue to be listened to. He was an intelligent, hardworking, cultured and gifted man of the people, loved music, a first class orator, a man with very scary views. Like his associates, he exploited the fragility of democracy and opportunities for enacting evil, forcing the perception of an omnipresent enemy, the Jews, which had to be liquidated at all costs. All types of ‘asocials’ had to be exterminated, but although his own physical handicap invited comments, it did not hold back his career. Death or subservience was due to all who were considered different or of inferior race. He believed that the Jews were controlling the Allies, and even implicated them in the Soviet murder of the Poles in Katyn Forest in 1940 and the Dambusters raid in 1943. The biography is admirably crowned by a 27-page epilogue that discusses the many differing perceptions of Goebbels, identifies the misconceptions, and defines a very evil man indeed able to profit from the national psyche of the time. This is a harsh lesson for those inclined to believe in the innate goodness of human beings.

A Well-Researched and Well-Written Biography

Revisado en Canadá el 12 de agosto de 2012

Compra verificada

Of course we all know who Joseph Goebbels was and there have been many biographies of this Nazi leader but Thacker has based his book on new insight gained since the release by Russia in the early 1990s of Goebbels' microfilmed diary and the completion in 2006 of a project by the Federal German Archive to transcribe and publish Goebbels' diary in its entirety. Goebbels kept a diary from 1923 to 1945 and having the complete diary has clearly justified another Goebbels biography.

Goebbels comes across as intelligent, surprisingly humourous, very fanatical in his beliefs and ruthless in his determination to see those beliefs given form. Contrary to most histories of this period, this book does not portray Goebbels as a shallow, Machiavellian opportunist but rather as a talented propagandist with firm beliefs.

Goebbels was born in a small town near the Ruhr industrial area of Germany. Thacker's book moves fairly quickly as we see Goebbels attend university, try to fit into a middle class society which he despised, become more and more involved in extremist politics and eventually rise to a leadership role in the Nazi Party. His interest in reading and writing are highlighted (including his love of Dostoyevsky) and his relationships with women (including a half-Jewish girlfriend, one wonders what eventually happened to her under Nazi rule) and, of course, his veneration of Hitler. Goebbels' often antagonistic relationships with other Nazis especially the Strasser brothers and Alfred Rosenberg are given special attention as are his attitudes towards the Jews, bourgeois society and Christianity.

This is a solid, well-researched, well-annotated and very readable biography of a man that the author refers to as "the most notorious demagogue of the twentieth century". It contains an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources and is fully indexed. I believe that this will be the standard to be matched for any further biographies of Joseph Goebbels, a man who was not as simple as he is often portrayed. Cruel, conniving, often fanatical, yes. Simple, no.

A Good Look at Hitler's Propaganda Minister

Reseñado en los Estados Unidos el 31 de enero de 2014

Toby Thacker's biography, "Joseph Goebbels: Life and Death" is a good study of one of the most powerful figures of the Third Reich. Expertly tracing his early life and beginnings in the Nazi Party, through his work to bring the party to power and his tenure as propaganda minister, to his wartime work to shore up the home front, Thacker's research will astound while the narrative itself is nothing short of chilling.

Sections dealing with Goebbels' early career in the party and his early political viewpoints make for fascinating reading. Goebbels' desire to see land and property reallocated from Germany's Junker to its workers illustrated his early socialist inclinations, and brought him toe to toe with Hitler who needed backing from Germany's elites. Particularly interesting is Thacker's exploration of this early period of tension between Goebbels and Hitler, a time in which Goebbels may even have moved to expel Hitler from the party. Equally fascinating is Goebbels' Machiavellian scheming during World War II. His infamous "Total War" speech of 1943, Thacker notes, was as much a political power play as it was a call to arms for the German populace in the wake of the Stalingrad disaster. Goebbels' antisemitism, attacks upon the churches, and radical war agenda are all brilliantly examined.

For anyone interested in this fascinating figure, who did so much to further Hitler's destructive policies, I highly recommend Thacker's biography.

A Chilling Study.

This biography is the definitive life of Goebbels. The clarity and detail is unsurpassed. Goebbels has always been seen as a nihilistic opportunist, but Toby Thacker paints this monster in his true colours. Goebbels was first and always a revolutionary, he alone of the Nazi leadership remained true to himself and it is this that makes him so horrifying. He was a man of high intelligence and acute perceptions. He knew exactly what he was getting into and saw it through to his own squalid Ragnarok in the bunker with his idol Hitler in April 1945. The murder of all six of his children is a crime that is hard to confront, as is the revelation that he stood at the very centre of the genocide of the Jews. Yet he was possessed of manic energy and creativity-very unlike the torpid and basically lazy Fuhrer he served.Perhaps the world should think itself lucky that Goebbels was only a follower and not Fuhrer himself. With Goebbels in charge, I suspect the history of the 3rd Reich would have been very different and NOT in a good way. I'm going to hate myself for saying this,but Goebbels was a very funny man. I laughed out loud at some of his quoted pronouncements and had not realised how biting his humour could be. I can almost imagine spending an uproarious time in his company, but then I see the bodies of his innocent children and the nations of the dead at his heels. Please God, let there never be another Joseph Goebbels.
