'Hermann Goring, Hitler Paladin or Puppet' by Wolfgang Paul is very weakly written. Covering the life of one of history's most fascinating individuals, the author, Wolfgang Paul fails miserably to deliver an interesting, well written book. Supposedly covering the life of the Reichmarshall from birth until death, this book lacks different and varied source material for quotes and does not even include a bibliography. Poorly written when compared to some of the classic works on World War II, such as Toland's work on Adolph Hitler, this book is better left on the shelf in the bookstore. One is forced to wonder if the author even bothered to do adequate research on his subject. A BIG disappointment from the first page until the last.
