Eva Braun and Adolf Hitler were together for fourteen years, ending only with their double suicide and her words 'I want to be a beautiful corpse, I will take poison'. Who was Eva Braun? How did a teenage photographer's assistant become the closest confidante of a dictator? Why did a leader who espoused the ideal German family live a bohemian life with a woman twenty-three years his junior? Was Braun just the carefree, naive blonde of myth? This gripping book is the first to examine fully her strange role in the Nazi hierarchy, revealing her true power and, in doing so, shedding light on the heart of a terrible regime. 'An utterly compelling portrayal of the weird hidden life of the dictator . . . who, like some black star, destroyed all those he touched. Eva was only one of millions of his victims - but a willing one.' Nigel Jones, Sunday Telegraph 'Fascinating . . . overturns the established view of her as an apolitical bystander.' Nicholas Shakespeare, Daily Telegraph, Books of the Year 'Easily the best biography of Eva Braun so far written.' Daily Beast 'The first biography to correct the image of the dumb blonde at the side of the mass murderer.' Der Spiegel

Easily the best biography of Eva Braun so far written * Daily Beast *
Fascinating ... overturns the established view of her as an apolitical bystander -- Nicholas Shakespeare * Daily Telegraph Books of the Year *
Braun emerges as bright but vapid, energetic but soulless. As thorough and clear a look of a monster's lover as we are likely to get * Booklist *
Having painstakingly reviewed the archives for references to Eva Braun's relationship with Hitler, Goertemaker presents a portrait of an engaged and engaging young woman, fervently supportive of National Socialism and one of the few members of Hitler's inner circle to never lose his trust or fall out of affection * Publishers Weekly *
