About the book: 2000 / More than half a century has passed since the end of the Second World War, and interest in its events and characters does not fade. The past continues to excite, and this is a sure sign that not all the lessons taught by history have been learned. The description presented here of the life of Joseph Goebbels, the second most important figure (after Hitler) of the Nazi state, sheds new light on famous historical events and helps to better understand the meaning the actions of modern politicians and the working methods of modern media. Many journalists and politicians who do not consider it possible to use the spiritual heritage of Goebbels, nevertheless highly value his oratory skills and ability to manipulate the mood of the “crowd”, willingly use his “discoveries” and techniques in dealing with the masses described in this book.
