Selling Hitler

The author explores the Hitler diary fiasco and describes five weeks in the lives of several publications, including "The Sunday Times", "Newsweek" and "The Washington Post". This was also the climax of a remarkable fraud - the manufacture of many Nazi fakes, the manipulation of the German publishing conglomerate, the fooling of experts around the world and the fascination of the world's reading public. The author gives the reader an insight into post-war fascination with Hitler and the Nazis, as well as the story of this bizarre Fleet Street incident. The book ties in with an ITV drama series.
