A rogues gallery of social misfits formed the Nazis' inner circle. They hated and conspired against one another but were held together by their admiration for the Fuhrer, and step by step dragged the nation towards the abyss. While demanding that the German people made sacrifices for a war few believed could be won, the Nazi leaders led lives of incredible debauchery, privilege and power. Drawing on a wide range of sources, author Paul Roland unravels the web of diplomacy, deceit and double-dealing spun by Hitler to ensure the war he had always wanted.
