Few other historians have shaped our understanding of the Third Reich as Joachim Fest. Fierce and intransigent, German-born Fest was a relentless interrogator of his nation's modern history. His analysis, THE FACE OF THE THIRD REICH, his biographies of Adolf Hitler and Albert Speer and his descriptions of the last days in the Fuhrer's bunker have all reached a worldwide audience of millions. In NOT I, the memoir of his childhood and youth, Fest provides an intimate portrait of those dark years of conflict.
