By Margaret L. Goldsmith

Book Overview

Hindenburg: The Man And The Legend is a book written by Margaret Goldsmith that tells the story of Paul von Hindenburg, a German military commander and politician who served as the President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934. The book explores Hindenburg's life, from his early years as a Prussian officer to his rise to power in the Weimar Republic, and his role in the events that led up to World War II.Goldsmith delves into Hindenburg's personal life, examining his relationships with his family, friends, and colleagues, and sheds light on his political beliefs and motivations. She also explores the myths and legends that have grown up around Hindenburg, including the belief that he was a hero who saved Germany from chaos and disorder.Through meticulous research and analysis, Goldsmith paints a nuanced portrait of Hindenburg that challenges many of the assumptions and misconceptions that have surrounded him for decades. She shows how Hindenburg's legacy has been shaped by propaganda and political manipulation, and how his reputation has been distorted by both his supporters and his detractors.Overall, Hindenburg: The Man And The Legend is a fascinating and insightful book that provides a fresh perspective on one of the most important figures in German history.
