When in 2014 former FBI agent Robert K Wittman finally discovered the lost diary of Alfred Rosenberg, the Nazi High Priest, it opened a window into the mind of the “philosopher” of the Nazi party, a man instrumental in providing justifications for Hitler and his nation’s actions.Only recently discovered by former FBI agent Robert Wittman, the diary of Nazi philosopher Alfred Rosenberg, who led the Nazi party when Hitler was interned in 1923, is a ground-breaking document and an object of rumour, obsession and evil. Filled with observations, conversations and Nazi plans, it gives new details of Hitler’s rise to power and personal governance of the Reich. Not simply the Nazi ideological progenitor, Rosenberg was a core member of Hitler’s inner circle: his ideas for the Third Reich and the destruction it wrought laid the foundations for a brainwashed nation and gave its people the justification for the slaughter of millions; he helped plan the Nazi invasion and subsequent occupation of the Soviet Union and was named Reich Minister for the Eastern Territories.With the first access to the diary's contents, `The Devil’s Diary’ is the thrilling story of Rosenberg; Robert Kempner, the German-born Jewish Nuremberg lawyer who prosecuted Göring and Frick and stole the diary; Henry Mayer, the archivist who has doggedly been searching for it for decades; and Bob Wittman, the former FBI agent who finally found it and returned it to its rightful place.

The Devil’s Diary is the true account of the disappearance of Alfred Rosenberg’s journal of Nazi ideology that shaped the genesis of the Holocaust. An influential figure in Adolf Hitler’s early inner circle, Alfred Rosenberg made his name spreading toxic ideas about the Jews throughout Germany, publishing a bestselling masterwork of Nazi thinking at the dawn of the Third Reich. His diary was discovered hidden in a Bavarian castle at war’s end—five hundred pages providing a harrowing glimpse of the man whose ideas set the stage for the Holocaust. Prosecutors examined it during the Nuremberg war crimes trial, but after Rosenberg was convicted, sentenced, and executed, it mysteriously vanished. New York Times bestselling author Robert K. Wittman, who as an FBI agent and private consultant specialized in recovering artifacts of historic significance, learned of the diary when the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s chief archivist informed him that someone was trying to sell it for upwards of a million dollars. A decade-long hunt led them to many people who handled and hid the book. From the crusading Nuremberg prosecutor who smuggled the diary out of Germany to the man who finally turned it over, everyone had reasons for hiding the truth. Drawing on Rosenberg’s entries about his role in the seizure of priceless artwork and the brutal occupation of the Soviet Union, his conversations with Hitler and his rivalries with Göring, Goebbels, and Himmler, Wittman and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Kinney’s The Devil’s Diary offers vital historical insight of unprecedented scope into the innermost workings of the Nazi regime—and into the psyche of the man whose radical vision mutated into the Final Solution.

Published to rave reviews in hardcover and purchased by DreamWorks in a major film deal, The Big One is a spellbinding and richly atmospheric work of narrative journalism in the tradition of Friday Night Lights. Here is the story of a community--Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts--and a sporting event--the island's legendary Striped Bass & Bluefish Derby--that is rendered with the same depth, color, and emotional power of the best fiction. Among the characters, we meet: Dick Hathaway, a crotchety legend who once caught a bluefish from a helicopter and was ultimately banned for cheating; Janet Messineo, a recovering alcoholic who says that striped bass saved her life; Buddy Vanderhoop, a boastful Native American charter captain who guides celebrity anglers like Keith Richards and Spike Lee; and Wyatt Jenkinson, a nine-year-old fishing fanatic whose mother is battling brain cancer. At the center of it all is five-time winner Lev Wlodyka, a cagey local whose next fish will spark a storm of controversy and throw the tournament into turmoil.Much more than just a book for fishing enthusiasts, The Big One is an exhilarating story of passion and obsession--and a powerful testament to the dreams that keep us all going.

A joyous and poignant exploration of the meaning of fandom, the healing power of art, and the importance of embracing what moves you, “The Dylanologists is juicy…artfully told…and an often moving chronicle of the ecstasies and depravities of obsession” (New York Daily News).Bob Dylan is the most influential songwriter of our time, and, after a half century, he continues to be a touchstone, a fascination, and an enigma. From the very beginning, he attracted an intensely fanatical cult following, and in The Dylanologists, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Kinney ventures deep into this eccentric subculture to answer a question: What can Dylan’s grip on his most enthusiastic listeners tell us about his towering place in American culture? Kinney introduces us to a vibrant underground: diggers searching for unheard tapes and lost manuscripts, researchers obsessing over the facts of Dylan’s life and career, writers working to decode the unyieldingly mysterious songs, fans who meticulously record and dissect every concert. It’s an affectionate mania, but as far as Dylan is concerned, a mania nonetheless. Over the years, the intensely private and fiercely combative musician has been frightened, annoyed, and perplexed by fans who try to peel back his layers. He has made one thing—perhaps the only thing—crystal clear: He does not wish to be known. Told with tremendous insight, intelligence, and warmth, “entertaining and well-written…The Dylanologists is as much a book about obsession—about the ways our fascinations manifest themselves, about how we cope with what we love but don’t quite understand—as it is a book about a musician and his nutty fans” (The Wall Street Journal).

Sukellus natsivaltakunnan sisäpiiriin

Tosielämän trilleri natsi-ideologin kadonneen päiväkirjan etsinnästä ja löytämisestä antaa ennennäkemättömän laaja-alaista ja syvälle ulottuvaa tietoa natsivallan sisäpiirin suhteista ja toiminnasta.

Paholaisen päiväkirja tuo selvyyden Adolf Hitlerin "pääfilosofin" Alfred Rosenbergin yksityisen päiväkirjan katoamiseen ja kaivaa sen kauan kateissa olleilta lehdiltä esiin aineiston, jonka pohjalta hahmottuu uusi, tarkentunut kuva natsien noususta valtaan ja holokaustin taustasta ja kehittymisestä.Adolf Hitlerin sisäpiiriin alusta asti vaikutusvaltaisessa asemassa kuulunut Alfred Rosenberg loi maineensa levittämällä Saksaan syövyttävää juutalaisvihaa. Kun kolmas valtakunta luotiin, hänen rasistista filosofiaa julistavasta pääteoksestaan tuli siellä bestseller ja kansallissosialistisen katsomuksen kulmakivi.Rosenbergin päiväkirja – 500 sivua, jotka avaavat kauhistuttavan näkymän "'herrakansan' älyllisen ylipapin" mielenmaisemaan – löydettiin baijerilaisesta linnasta sodan päättyessä. Nürnbergin sotarikosoikeudenkäynnin syyttäjät tutkivat sitä, mutta Rosenbergin tuomion ja teloituksen jälkeen se katosi salaperäisesti.Maineikas vääriin käsiin joutuneiden taide- ja kulttuuriaarteiden jäljittäjä Robert K. Wittman, joka on työskennellyt sekä FBI:n erikoisasiamiehenä että kansainvälisenä konsulttina taidevarkauksien selvittämisessä, kuuli päiväkirjasta 2001. Silloin Yhdysvaltain holokaustimuseon arkiston johtaja soitti hänelle ja kertoi jonkun yrittävän myydä sitä ja pyytävän siitä yli miljoona dollaria. Puhelu johti vuosikymmenen kestäneeseen etsintään; mutkikkaiden polkujen varrelta löytyi kaksi yli 80-vuotiasta sihteeriä, omalaatuinen professori ja hyötyä havitteleva jätetavaran kerääjä. Omalle ristiretkelleen lähteneestä Nürnbergin syyttäjästä, joka salakuljetti päiväkirjan Saksasta, sen lopulta luovuttaneeseen mieheen jokaisella oli syynsä totuuden salaamiseen.Päiväkirjassaan Rosenberg kertoo roolistaan suunnattoman arvokkaiden taideaarteiden anastamisessa sekä Neuvostoliiton alueiden raa'assa miehityshallinnossa, keskusteluistaan Hitlerin kanssa sekä alituisesta kilpailustaan Göringin, Goebbelsin ja Himmlerin kanssa. Paholaisen päiväkirja on matka radikaaleilla näkemyksillään "lopulliseen ratkaisuun" tien avanneen miehen psyykeen.

Robert K. Wittman perusti FBI:n taiderikosten tutkimusryhmän ja oli viraston tärkein asiantuntija kulttuuriomaisuuteen kohdistuvien rikosten tutkinnassa. Hän on julkaissut 2006 Yhdysvalloissa menestysteokseksi nousseet muistelmat kansainvälisestä urastaan, joka vei hänet selvittämään mm. Ruotsissa, Espanjassa ja Perussa tapahtuneita suuria taidevarkauksia. Hän johtaa nykyään omaa konsulttiyritystään.David Kinney on Pulitzer-palkinnon voittanut lehtimies, joka on kirjoittanut moniin lehtiin, mm. New York Timesiin, sekä julkaissut muutamia reportaasikirjoja.
