Where should Goering be placed in the Third Reich hierarchy? Like Rommel and Guderian, was he a master military tactician, or a slave to his master's dictates? Like Goebbels and Himmler was he an able administrator, or a lethargic glory-seeker? This biography of Hermann Goering details his life, including his education, career, marriage, social life, wartime role, capture and trial. It presents facts and opinions about his place in the Third Reich hierarchy, assessing his military tactics, administrative skills, and decline from power. It reassesses the impact he had on the formation of Reich policy and doctrine, reflects his heroism as a World War I flying ace, and his failure to keep the Luftwaffe in the skies in 1941, and documents his decline to a figurehead bereft of power.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Weakly written; limited in scope and content.,
By Georgia M. Hoffman "pontracker" (North Versailles, Pennsylvania - USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Hermann Goering: Hitler Paladin or Puppet? (Hardcover)
'Hermann Goring, Hitler Paladin or Puppet' by Wolfgang Paul is very weakly written. Covering the life of one of history's most fascinating individuals, the author, Wolfgang Paul fails miserably to deliver an interesting, well written book. Supposedly covering the life of the Reichmarshall from birth until death, this book lacks different and varied source material for quotes and does not even include a bibliography. Poorly written when compared to some of the classic works on World War II, such as Toland's work on Adolph Hitler, this book is better left on the shelf in the bookstore. One is forced to wonder if the author even bothered to do adequate research on his subject. A BIG disappointment from the first page until the last.
