Features: Springer the Press Mogul – The Life of Axel Springer tells the life story of Springer. All clichés about him are inappropriate; the biography of the German press mogul is not just a story filled with success and power, dreams and delusions, love and hate, but also reflects the political history of the Federal Government after the liberation from fascist rule and during the Cold War, as well as a history of parental guilt and children's rebellion. Springer hated the Nazis. To him, compensation for the Jews was as important as the reunification of the two German states. He was a staunch believer who had experienced religious hallucinations and awakenings, yet he never lived to see the fall of the Berlin Wall—the end of German division. This book tells the story of a king who believed in astrology and considered himself chosen by God, and after his death, his empire also fell.
