About this listen

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)

This was a fascinating but slow story. I almost gave up but I was very intrigued by the gullibility of the characters in this story. Happy to have heard it all.

Very comprehensive

When people want something to be true enough, they will deceive themselves better than any con man ever could. A true tale where the truth really is stranger than fiction. Well narrated too.

What a beautiful fiasco

The first half was really dragged out, but once the drama really began to kick in the book became very enjoyable. On a side note the narrator is brilliant.

Great second half, boring first.
