David Irving THE RISE AND FALL OF THE LUFTWAFFE Book Club Edition 1973
Book club edition hardback of THE RISE AND FALL OF THE LUFTWAFFE (The Life of Field Marshal Erhard Milch) by David Irving and published by Little, Brown & Company in 1973.The book is in very good condition (black cloth boards with yellow lettering to spine) with light bumping to the top corners of the front and back boards and light creasing to the top and bottom of the spine. Rough-cut front page edges. The book is in a very good- unclipped dust jacket which has light creasing to the top of the front cover and top and bottom of the spine, fraying to the top and bottom edges of the spine, a small open tear to the bottom corner of the back cover and some light browning to both covers and spine. Internally the pages are lightly yellowed but otherwise clean and tight and there are no tears or inscriptions.
Using the extensive notebooks and diaries that Milch kept throughout his career, David Irving describes the field marshal's rise and his later uneasy relationships with Speer, Goring and Hitler as jealousies and brazen grabs for power (to which Milch eventually fell victim) erupted openly. Yet even in disgrace, even after his sentence to life imprisonment at the Nuremburg trials, Milch, who never read past page twenty of Mein kampf, remained as intensely loyal as the day he had declared of Hitler: "Even if he commanded me to walk across the waves to him, I would unhesitatingly obey."
