LENI - The Life and Work of Leni Riefenstahl
Author: Steven Bach
ADVANCE PRAISE FOR LENI Steven Bach's Leni finally presents Riefenstahl as she genuinely was: not as we have seen her so far but as Hitler's self-serving and mendacious PR handmaiden. If you haven't thought of "Nazi artist" as a noxious and corrupting oxymoron, Bach's scrupuious account of a zealously masked life may persude you otherwise.

The book is an interesting review of Leni Riefenstahl's life and works. Not great but very comprehensive. The book is read by Henrietta Tiefenthaler, "an actress, writer, and editor of Austrian descent". She has a very thick Germanic accent which may add something to the authenticity of her reading, but it is abundantly clear from the reading that English may not even be her second language. There a frequent mispronunciations of fairly simple words and odd pauses and rythm. If German were not my second language, I would have been hard-pressed to understand her at times.
