There are many clichés about Heinrich Himmler, the head of the Nazi police and terror apparatus: colourless and pedantic bureaucrat, dogged ideologue and crazed Germanophile, cold-blooded mass murderer. Peter Longerich deciphers this elusive personality and in doing so goes far beyond a conventional biography: the renowned historian provides for the first time an overall view of all those areas in which Himmler bore responsibility and shows to what astonishing extent this man shaped the structures and destructive dynamics of the Nazi dictatorship.
