Description During Books Leni Riefenstahl

The self-serving reminiscences of a Nazi propagandist and collaborator who refused to admit it. Riefenstahl is an incredibly rare blend of a person lacking self-awareness with quite a healthy sense of self-worth and fascist tendencies. Her memoirs are a fascinating example of equivocation and moral justification, but are often unbearable in its rampant self-aggrandization and total lack of remorse. Worth a read, though, if you're interested in Third Reich hangers-on, the German film industry, and the lengths to which a person will go to hold oneself inculpable for one's actions.

Criticism About Books Leni Riefenstahl
The last 80 pages were good. I still can't believe how badly she was treated by the German people. She seems to have been well accepted by the Americans and British. They seemed to appreciate her work as a director more than the Germans did. The Germans seemed to have gone from the extreme of accepting everything Hitler and the Nazis did to accepting nothing about the Nazis and Hitler. The world was black and white to them, especially in the years after the War. There was no middle ground

I knew nothing about Leni prior to reading this book. I read a review of it somewhere, and decided it would be good to know more about her. It ended rather sadly. Like all her projects had become so mired in lawsuits and bad press that the only left for her to try and clear her name was to write this memoir, and it sucked because it was so painful to her. She had a lot of great happiness in her life, and some amazing adventures. But like anything, when you have that much fame and success,

I can count on two fingers the number of books I have not finished. It must be the guiding hand of adulthood gently nudging me closer to my mortality when I recognize that to continue the tradition of finishing books for the sake of completion is flawed and deserves caveats from time to time. This is one of those times. I made it 441 pages into this memoir, a shallow, narcissistic journey through the narrowed down, cleaned up story that Riefenstahl chose to present as her own at the end of her

Trying to find the answer, how she was coping with the responsibility for supporting the hitler's regime. I did not believe, that she "did not know" how she was stating, but after the book i know it for sure, that she just did not care at all:-(

This was the first non-text-book I read relating to World-War II. It spurred a major obsession, and was otherwise just generally really interesting. It is long and very detailed, so if you don't like this kind of thing, it might be too dry. Still, I think the subject is impossibly engrossing for anyone who likes history, especially women in history.

I have defeated you Leni Riefenstahl. A part of me believes this woman is a liar and a sociopath...

Whoa, finally finished. This is actually a good book to read over a long period because she neatly divides her story into titled anecdotes, some only a page or so long. (Also she goes into great amounts of detail that might have gotten a bit much if I had tried to read this straight through) Of course this is her side of everything, but she came off pretty straight forward to me, and certainly not the Nazi villainess I had always casually assumed her to be. Sometimes I would sort of forget who
