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.

The Wall Street Journal called him “a living legend.” The London Times dubbed him “the most famous art detective in the world.” In Priceless, Robert K. Wittman, the founder of the FBI’s Art Crime Team, pulls back the curtain on his remarkable career for the first time, offering a real-life international thriller to rival The Thomas Crown Affair. Rising from humble roots as the son of an antique dealer, Wittman built a twenty-year career that was nothing short of extraordinary. He went undercover, usually unarmed, to catch art thieves, scammers, and black market traders in Paris and Philadelphia, Rio and Santa Fe, Miami and Madrid. In this page-turning memoir, Wittman fascinates with the stories behind his recoveries of priceless art and antiquities: The golden armor of an ancient Peruvian warrior king. The Rodin sculpture that inspired the Impressionist movement. The headdress Geronimo wore at his final Pow-Wow. The rare Civil War battle flag carried into battle by one of the nation’s first African-American regiments. The breadth of Wittman’s exploits is unmatched: He traveled the world to rescue paintings by Rockwell and Rembrandt, Pissarro, Monet and Picasso, often working undercover overseas at the whim of foreign governments. Closer to home, he recovered an original copy of the Bill of Rights and cracked the scam that rocked the PBS series Antiques Roadshow. By the FBI’s accounting, Wittman saved hundreds of millions of dollars worth of art and antiquities. He says the statistic isn’t important. After all, who’s to say what is worth more --a Rembrandt self-portrait or an American flag carried into battle? They''re both priceless. The art thieves and scammers Wittman caught run the gamut from rich to poor, smart to foolish, organized criminals to desperate loners. The smuggler who brought him a looted 6th-century treasure turned out to be a high-ranking diplomat. The appraiser who stole countless heirlooms from war heroes’ descendants was a slick, aristocratic con man. The museum janitor who made off with locks of George Washington''s hair just wanted to make a few extra bucks, figuring no one would miss what he’d filched. In his final case, Wittman called on every bit of knowledge and experience in his arsenal to take on his greatest challenge: working undercover to track the vicious criminals behind what might be the most audacious art theft of all. From the Hardcover edition.

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.
