A self-portrait; composed by one of the greatest monsters of all time: Rudolf Hoess; the Commandant at Auschwitz; and the man who knew more than almost anyone about how Nazi Germany implemented the Final Solution. Captured by the British after the war; tried; and sentenced to death; he was ordered to write his autobiography in the weeks between his trial and his execution (which fittingly took place in Auschwitz itself). Hoess apparently enjoyed the task; and the most careful checking by researchers showed he took great pains to tell the truth. The result: a vivid and unforgettable picture of the 20th century's defining and most horrific event. Royalties from this book go to the fund to help the few survivors of Auschwitz.

4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Excellent!By Jim SchmidtOsprey and author Warren Thompson have done it again! An excellent combination of sharp; vibrant color photos; historical narrative and personal stories makes the third in the "over Korea" series an exceptional book for any aviation or Korean War history buff.The reader is immersed in the details of operational missions; as well as the historical context of the war; giving a unique view of the conflict.As in the F-86 issue in the series; the type face chosen for the main text is "petite"; but otherwise; I highly recommend this volume.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. F-84E Osprey frontline Colour 3By T. A. Van KampenThe book is truly a marvelous account of the Thunderjet in action in Korea. All images in colour make this book extremely valuable for the modeller in order to recreate an almost real-life replica.Highly recommended!1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. F-84 in Korea bookBy Orin HumphriesVery complete and well documented. I do wish these kinds of books would include the dates the photos were taken; but this info is usuallynot available to the authors.
