Leni Riefenstahl is one of the most fascinating and controversial personalities of the twentieth century. Best known as 'Hitler's filmmaker', Riefenstahl made two documentaries, OLYMPIA and TRIUMPH OF THE WILL, acknowledged to be among the greatest films ever made. But they are insidious glorifications of the Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Drawing on new primary sources - recordings of Riefenstahl herself, interviews with her colleagues and intimate friends - Steven Bach puts the lie to her lifelong portrayal of herself ...

Propaganda Queen

This is an authoritative work on Leni Riefenstahl, Hitler's propaganda queen via her films for the Nazi regime. Her film 'Triumph of the Will' was a triumph for her as well.

The book has been thoroughly researched by Steven Bach, with some interesting and exquisite black-and-white photographs. A lot has been written about Riefenstahl, but It may be a long time before anyone writes a better biography of her in any language.

The impression one gets is that she did what she did because she must have believed in the Nazi cause, whatever she may have said after the war ended. All things considered, she was always brilliant at disseminating propaganda, but she was also enigmatic, fascinating and charismatic, as portrayed in this brilliant biography.
