Himmler de Padfield, Peter - 1990

New York: MJF Books, 1990. 4th Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x9. Fourth printing. A near fine copy and a near fine jacket. 1990 Hard Cover. xiii, 656. Remarkably, this is the first full-length biography of a man often seen as the very personification of evil. Heinrich Himmler was not only head of Hitler's SS police and Gestapo, but was also in charge of the death camps in the East. The account of Himmler's life and his impact on the rise and fall of the Nazi state make a gripping and horrifying story. But more than this, it is a profound moral and intellectual inquiry into the nature of evil in the human character.
