'Impossible to stop reading' OBSERVER
'Thrilling, intricate and hilarious' DAILY MAIL

APRIL 1945: From the ruins of Berlin, a Luftwaffe transport plane takes off carrying secret papers belonging to Adolf Hitler. Half an hour later, it crashes in flames.

APRIL 1983: In a bank vault in Switzerland, a German magazine offers to sell more than 50 volumes of Hitler's secret diaries. The asking price is $4 million.

40 years from the alleged discovery, Robert Harris chronicles the gripping tale of one of the biggest frauds in history.

'Brilliantly chronicled' NEW STATESMAN
'A masterly account' LITERARY REVIEW
A stunning and compelling story of human folly, duplicity and wishful thinking. Brilliantly researched and narrated, Selling Hitler is as fascinating and as telling today as it was forty years ago
William Boyd
