This ground-breaking book provides the first in-depth analysis and critical study of Hitler's so-called table talks and their history, provenance, translation, reception, and usage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on research in public and private archives in four countries, the book shows when, why, where, how, by and for whom the table talks were written, how reliable the texts are, and how historians should approach and use them. It reveals the crucial role of the mysterious Swiss Nazi Francois Genoud, as well as some very poor judgement from several famous historians in giving these dubious sources more credibility than they deserved. The book sets the record straight regarding the nature of these volumes as historical sources - proving inter alia \u003cem\u003eThe Testament\u003c\/em\u003e to be a clever forgery - and aims to establish a new consensus on their meaning and impact on historical research into Hitler and the Third Reich.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis path-breaking historical investigation will be of considerable interest to all researchers and historians of the Nazi era.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMikael Nilsson\u003c\/strong\u003e is a currently unaffiliated Swedish historian who has written and published extensively on the Cold War and on Hitler's table talks.
