5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Read and Perspective for WWII
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2018

Exactly as pictured; wear as described (which was decent to begin with).
It's not so much of a book as much a log of the events of WWII coming straight from the man who assumed domestic power in Germany. Originally, I started reading the Diaries from the school library, but with graduation from said school, I decided to purchase a copy for myself. In my opinion, worth the money.

Dr. Goebbels diaries: a chilling record of what mankind is able to do to other (groups of) people. Watch what goes on everyday everywhere in our world and millions of books like this could be written forever.

Together with Albert Speer's Inside The Third Reich, this is essential reading for anyone interested in German WWII history. A study of evil distilled. Those who lament the bombing of Dresden should read this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars History brought (disgustingly) to life!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 20, 2003
Verified Purchase
It is hard for anyone from later generations, no matter how well read they are, to imagine what we now see as history, in real time.
The impact of reading this part of "The Little Doctors" diaries is that it is written in the first person, about events and personalities we are now used to dealing with as history, most disconcertingly as though they are happening now. References to Hitler and the whole despicable regime in this context make for uncomfortable reading.
This edition runs from January 1942 through to December 1943 (with some missing or then lost entries), it is all the more immediate because the translator, Louis P Lochner, was an American journalist working in Germany during the Nazis rise to power and the years running up to the start of hostilities. Lochner came into personal contact with Goebbels during this time and his introduction and translation of the diaries was only written a few years after the end of the war in 1948.
The vitriolic anti-semitism of Goebbels and the regime is brought very starkly to life. It is hard to understand how such sentiments were committed to paper bearing in mind the intended publication of Goebbels diaries for "posterity". Perhaps it is this that is so disturbing and brings the policy of the "Final Solution" into stark reality for later generations. The gross arrogance that readers of the future will not question these sentiments, that Goebbels had no doubts about the rightness of the Nazi policies or that they could still win the war as late as 1943, is breathtaking.
There are intances that show what living in a totalitarian state would be like, for example when Goebbels is frustrated by the legal system he simply gets Himmlers state within a state to deal with the "problem" and by-passes the the law.
These diaries should be read by everyone living in a democracy, no matter how flawed democracies can be, such an example of totalitarian power is chilling.

5th August 2017 - Layout still not working for Kindle. Page numbers cut into the middle of paragraphs and makes for very frustrating reading. Can't comment on the content of the book as it got too annoying to read.
