Adolf Hitler's chauffeur called her 'the unhappiest woman in Germany.' As Adolf Hitler's mistress, Eva Braun automatically falls under a long, black shadow. His mistress before the age of 20, Braun was in an exclusive relationship with Hitler until their joint suicides at the end of the war.
Much maligned, the Fuhrer humiliated her in public and the wives of top Nazis hated her. She has been largely dismissed as ordinary and unworthy of attention, 'a restful sort of girl, undemanding'. Angela Lambert tackles only the second biography of Braun written in English, bringing into sharp focus an unexpected relationship, neglected by male historians. Inevitably, it is also about Hitler, the inner circle of Nazis, with new insights into the cold heart of Nazi leadership.
