HERMANN GÖ THE MAKING AND UNMAKING OF HITLER’S SECOND-IN-COMMAND Inside the Life, Power, Ruin, and Final Judgment of a Nazi Titan at Nuremberg
THE MAN BEHIND POWER AND DELUSION What happens when a man’s brilliance, ambition, and vanity collide with the machinery of tyranny? This powerful and deeply researched biography explores the life of Hermann Göring—the decorated World War I hero who became one of Adolf Hitler’s most powerful and destructive lieutenants. Through psychological insight and historical precision, Hermann Gö The Making and Unmaking of Hitler’s Second-in-Command traces his rise from national acclaim to moral collapse. Once hailed as a war hero, Göring built the Luftwaffe and shaped the Nazi state while surrounding himself with luxury and delusion. Beneath his medals and charisma lay insecurity, addiction, and an insatiable hunger for validation—flaws that ultimately led to his ruin. This book exposes how ambition without conscience becomes a form of madness, and how self-deception can shape the course of nations.
