An unprecedented, page-turning narrative of the Nazi rise to power,
the Holocaust, and Hitler's post-invasion plans for Russia told
through the recently discovered lost diary of Alfred Rosenberg -
Hitler's 'philosopher' and architect of Nazi ideology. Only
recently discovered by former FBI agent Robert Wittman, the diary
of Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg, who led the Nazi party when
Hitler was interned in 1923, is a ground-breaking document and an
object of rumour, obsession and evil. Filled with observations,
conversations and Nazi plans, it gives new details of Hitler's rise
to power and personal governance of the Reich. Not simply the Nazi
ideological progenitor, Rosenberg was a core member of Hitler's
inner circle: his ideas for the Third Reich and the destruction it
wrought laid the foundations for a brainwashed nation and gave its
people the justification for the slaughter of millions; he helped
plan the Nazi invasion and subsequent occupation of the Soviet
Union and was named Reich Minister for the Eastern Territories.
With the first access to the diary's contents, 'The Devil's Diary'
is the thrilling story of Rosenberg; Robert Kempner, the
German-born Jewish Nuremberg lawyer who prosecuted Goering and
Frick and stole the diary; Henry Mayer, the archivist who has
doggedly been searching for it for decades; and Bob Wittman, the
former FBI agent who finally found it and returned it to its
rightful place.
Published to rave reviews in hardcover and purchased by DreamWorks
in a major film deal, The Big One is a spellbinding and richly
atmospheric work of narrative journalism in the tradition of Friday
Night Lights. Here is the story of a community--Martha's Vineyard,
Massachusetts--and a sporting event--the island's legendary Striped
Bass & Bluefish Derby--that is rendered with the same depth,
color, and emotional power of the best fiction. Among the
characters, we meet: Dick Hathaway, a crotchety legend who once
caught a bluefish from a helicopter and was ultimately banned for
cheating; Janet Messineo, a recovering alcoholic who says that
striped bass saved her life; Buddy Vanderhoop, a boastful Native
American charter captain who guides celebrity anglers like Keith
Richards and Spike Lee; and Wyatt Jenkinson, a nine-year-old
fishing fanatic whose mother is battling brain cancer. At the
center of it all is five-time winner Lev Wlodyka, a cagey local
whose next fish will spark a storm of controversy and throw the
tournament into turmoil. Much more than just a book for fishing
enthusiasts, The Big One is an exhilarating story of passion and
obsession--and a powerful testament to the dreams that keep us all
going.
