Steven Bach è stato una figura di spicco a Hollywood, ricoprendo il ruolo di vicepresidente senior e capo delle produzioni mondiali per gli studi United Artists. La sua scrittura spesso approfondisce le complessità della realizzazione cinematografica, esaminando sia le aspirazioni creative che le potenziali insidie del settore. Bach ha portato una prospettiva critica e acuta nelle sue biografie di figure di spicco, portando meticolosamente alla luce verità e sfidando narrazioni consolidate. I suoi contributi letterari offrono una lente unica attraverso cui comprendere il mondo del cinema e gli individui che lo hanno plasmato.

Revealing biography of one of the twentieth century's most controversial figures; and the first significant biography to have been published since the subject's death
Leni Riefenstahl, the woman known as “Hitler’s filmmaker,” made some of the greatest and most innovative documentaries ever made. They are also insidious glorifications of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich. Now, Steven Bach reveals the truths and lies behind Riefenstahl’s lifelong self-vindication as an apolitical artist who claimed to know nothing of the Holocaust and denied her complicity with the criminal regime she both used and sanctified. A riveting and illuminating biography of one of the most fascinating and controversial personalities of the twentieth century.
