An unflinching study of a Nazi war criminal and intimate friend of Hitler. 'Padfield writes vividly and indignantly about the growth of the...'empire of the camps' and the awful underworld that Himmler created...His story is a chilling reminder of what happens when, fanatics get their hands on the instruments of state power.' - Richard Overy, Observer.
