A fascinating portrait of Reinhard Heydrich, one of the darkest
figures of Hitler's elite, featuring words with those who knew him
best, including in-depth and rare interviews with his wife, Lina.
He was called the 'Hangman of the Gestapo' and the 'Butcher of
Prague'. He had a reputation as a ruthlessly efficient killer and
was known as an exemplar of Nazi ideals. He was the head of the SS
and the Gestapo, second in command to Heinrich Himmler and
supposedly in line to succeed the Fuhrer. His orders set in motion
the Kristallnacht pogrom of 1938 and he was the lead planner of the
Final Solution, which led to the murder of millions of Jews across
Nazi-occupied Europe. Hitler called him 'the man with the iron
heart'. This incredible biography explores who Reinhard Heydrich
was, how he came to be and what led him to do what he did. Using
in-depth research, Nancy Dougherty (and, following her death,
Christopher Lehman-Haupt), paint a detailed picture of Heydrich as
never seen before. Through extensive interviews with those who knew
him best, including his wife Lina von Osten Heinrich, we hear about
his rarefied musical family origins and ugly-duckling childhood,
his failed Naval career and struggles to find employment, and
finally his meteoric rise through the Nazi high command and his
time within the Third Reich. The Man With the Iron Heart is an
astonishing journey into the depths of Nazi evil and a powerful
insight into one of humanity's darkest figures.
