"WWII History," January 2007
"The world, it seems, knows who Hermann Goering was. His brother, Albert, is less well known, a fact that will change with the publication of James Wyllie's book about the Nazi Reichsmarschal's younger sibling...Wyllie documents the many instances when Albert, at the risk of his own safety, assisted scores of concentration camp and death camp inmates to escape their fates..."The Warlord and the Renegade" deserves to be on every history buff's bookshelf."

Product Description
A founder member of the Nazi Party, Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring became the leader of the Nazis' economic war machine and supreme commander of the Luftwaffe. As a party to some of the worst excesses of the Nazi regime, he ordered the terror bombing of civilians and promoted the use of slave labour in his factories. Yet he was also a dedicated conservationist, much loved and admired by the rest of his family and, for many years, a popular hero to Germans of all ages and classes. His brother Albert, seven years Hermann's junior, loathed Hitler and the Nazis and saved hundreds - perhaps thousands - of people across Europe from Nazi persecution. Albert deferred to Hermann as head of the family, but spent nearly a decade working against his brother's regime, intervening wherever possible to rescue the victims of Nazi tyranny, from humble shopkeepers to heads of state. Yet, it was only because Hermann was his brother (who effectively covered for him) that Albert was able to get away with his anti-Nazi activities for so long. Despite the profound gulf between their beliefs, each believed sincerely that the other was only doing what he considered to be right. There is a continuing interest in the history of Hitler's Third Reich. This is a quirky, untold story of Hitler's Third Reich that uncovers the Goring brothers' bizarre relationship. It is illustrated with many rare archive photographs. After reading History at Cambridge, James Wyllie became a screen and television writer. In 1992 he was the first winner of the Carl Foreman/BAFTA Award and has been writing screenplays and projects for television ever since. His recent achievements include screenplays for "The Bill" and the award-winning "The Tribe". James lives in London and this is his first book.

This book is interesting as a background to the brothers and the early days.. It fills in as much info as i suppose there is on Albert but i was hoping for more "definitive"info about his anti nazi work.But the book does throw up a few interesting fact about large allied companies continuing to trade with Germany throughout the war that might be worth looking into as further reading..
Format:Hardcover
Bought this for my 84 Dad , couldnt find much on Albert Goring but this book seems to fit the bill on a secret hero who risked a lot for the Jews and used the fact that he was a Goring to help them. Havent read it myself but Dad thought it was good ,shame there isnt more books about Albert Goring .

This was a great book with a lot of little unknown facts about the Goerings. Some make you wonder how Hermann got hooked up with the crazyman Hitler.
