If I had wanted a biography of Angela Lambert I would have bought one! As it is, about half of the book is nothing but footnotes, and some of the barbed asides about Eva's appearance in general were unnecessarily mean-spirited. I was expecting a REAL biography of Eva Braun. What I got was the same old hitler/nazi rehash with a little of Eva Braun thrown in. Nothing of any true importance, even about Hitler.
Angela Lambert reveals a woman the world never knew until the last twenty-four hours of her life. In the small hours of April 29, 1945, as Allied troops raced to capture Berlin and the bunker below the Reichskanzlei where the defeated Nazi leaders were hiding, Eva Braun finally achieved her life's ambition by becoming Hitler's wife. Next day they both swallowed cyanide and died instantly.

The author has a great narrative voice and blends fact with description very well.

She left her convent school at the age of seventeen and met Hitler a few months later. She became his mistress before she was twenty.

She left her convent school at the age of seventeen and met Hitler a few months later. She became his mistress before age twenty. They remained in an exclusive sexual relationship from 1932 until their joint suicides at the end of the war. Hitler's chauffeur called her "the unhappiest woman in Germany." The Führer humiliated her in public while the top Nazis' wives despised her. Yet Albert Speer said: "She has been much maligned. She was very shy, modest.

This authoritative biography, only the second life of Eva Braun written in English, based on detailed new research, opens a new window on life at the cold heart of the Nazi leadership.
