"In this, the first-ever comprehensive biography of the Reichsführer-SS, leading German
historian Peter Longerich puts every aspect of Himmler's life under the microscope.
Masterfully interweaving the story of Himmler's personal life and political career
with the wider history of the Nazi dictatorship, Longerich shows how skillfully he
exploited and manipulated his disparate roles in the pursuit of his far-reaching and
grandiose objectives. In the process, he illuminates the extraordinary degree to which
Himmler's own personal prejudices, idiosyncrasies, and predilections made their mark
on the organizations for which he was responsible--especially the SS, which in so
many ways bore the characteristic hallmarks of its leader, and whose history remains
incomprehensible without a detailed and intimate knowledge of its deeply sinister
commander-in-chief"--Dust-jacket
