"Up to the last moment, his overwhelming, despotic authority
aroused false hopes and deceived his people and his entourage. Only
at the end, when I watched the inglorious collapse and the
obstinacy of his final downfall, was I able suddenly to fit
together the bits of mosaic I had been amassing for twelve years
into a complete picture of his opaque and sphinxlike personality.
If my contemporaries fail to understand me, those who came after
will surely profit from this account." Otto Dietrich When Otto
Dietrich was invited in 1933 to become Adolf Hitler's press chief,
he accepted with the simple uncritical conviction that Adolf Hitler
was a great man, dedicated to promoting peace and welfare for the
German people. At the end of the war, imprisoned and disillusioned,
Otto Dietrich sat down to write what he had seen and heard in
twelve years of the closest association with Hitler, requesting
that it be published after his death. Dietrich's role placed him in
a privileged position. He was hired by Hitler in 1933, was his
confidant until 1945, and he worked and clashed with Joseph
Goebbels. His direct, personal experience of life at the heat of
the Reich makes for compelling reading. Skyhorse Publishing, along
with our Arcade, Good Books, Sports Publishing, and Yucca imprints,
is proud to publish a broad range of biographies, autobiographies,
and memoirs. Our list includes biographies on well-known historical
figures like Benjamin Franklin, Nelson Mandela, and Alexander
Graham Bell, as well as villains from history, such as Heinrich
Himmler, John Wayne Gacy, and O. J. Simpson. We have also published
survivor stories of World War II, memoirs about overcoming
adversity, first-hand tales of adventure, and much more. While not
every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a
national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are
sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise
find a home.
