Joachim Peiper: A New Biography of Himmler's SS Commander by Jens Westemeier

(Hardcover)

Comments from the Seller: 2007, new copy, hard bound in dust jacket, 8 1/2 x 11, glossy page stock, approx 240 pages, over 160 photos......................................................................In this new historical investigation, German historian Jens Westemeier portrays the rise and fall of an SS war criminal, and demolishes persistent myths of a Nazi icon. The picture revealed here is at odds with the popular Peiper mythology created by wartime and contemporary National Socialist propaganda, novels, motion pictures, and right-wing Peiper biographies. Using primary sources and personal interviews, a compelling image of the SS colonel emerges. The result is a highly readable and scholarly account with the first complete picture of Joachim Peiper.
