Description: A HISTORY OF HORROR - HITLER'S GESTAPO THE GESTAPO, HITLER'S SECRET POLICE, WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING ORGANIZATIONS EVER CREATED. Its purpose was to suffocate dissent to Nazi rule and destroy resistance ruthlessly. History has declared its leaders - Goering, Himmler, Heydrich, Eichmann, Müller and others - to be the personification of evil and they all paid with their lives during or after Germany's defeat in World War II. They devised and carried out inhuman torture and interrogation techniques, and the word "Gestapo" has come to symbolize the worst in human conduct. In its pursuit of terror, the Gestapo was brutally efficient - an example of government gone mad. How could a sophisticated and law-abiding country like Germany come up with anything like it? Author Jacques Delarue, a one-time member of the French Resistance and officer of the Sûretê Nationale, delved into Gestapo archives and interviewed ex-Gestapo agents to tell this story. It is a fascinating and disturbing account. In a review, The New York Daily News said: "This book won't let the world forget. THE BOOK ON OFFER HERE IS A BRAND NEW HARDCOVER REPRINT first published in French in 1962. Translation into English is by Mervyn Savill.
