Selling Hitler: His Classic Account of the Hitler Diaries

Robert Harris tracked the fiasco following the sudden appearance in 1983 of the so called Hitler diaries. Now this brilliantly researched book is available in paperback. It's spring 1983. It seemed that one of the most startling discoveries of the century had been made, and that one of the world's most sought after documents had finally come to light, the private diaries of Adolf Hitler. What followed was the exchange of extraordinary sums of money for world-wide publishing rights. But that was just the beginning.
