Selling Hitler

The Story of the Hitler Diaries

By: Robert Harris

Narrated by: David Rintoul

Random House presents the audiobook edition of Selling Hitler by Robert Harris, read by David Rintoul.

Spring 1983: it seemed that one of the most startling discoveries of the century had been made, and that one of the world's most sought after documents had finally come to light - the private diaries of Adolf Hitler.What followed was a fiasco of fakery, greed, the duping of experts, and the exchange of extraordinary sums of money for world-wide publishing rights. But that was just the beginning of the story. . .

Critic reviews

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)

Superbly told, deeply troubling

I’ve enjoyed most if not all of Robert Harris’ fiction and when I learned (in the information about the excellent Archangel) that he earlier wrote this non-fiction, I was intrigued. Harris is an excellent writer, and this book reads like any drama with interesting characters and a well-told plot. As interesting (enjoyable might not quite be the right word, given the subject an the fact that it is a true story) as it is, it is deeply troubling, because it reveals a dark side of way too many people, which, sadly, is still quite present. The reader did a great job.
