Why people recommend it
Hitler's Priestess by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke is a detailed biographical study of Savitri Devi and her efforts to synthesize National Socialism with esoteric religious ideas. Robert Evans recommended and frequently referenced the book on his podcast Behind the Bastards as the primary source material for episodes exploring the subject. He directed listeners to the show's companion website where the full text of the biography was made available for free. Throughout the episodes, Evans relied on the biography to provide historical context and read specific passages aloud. He cited the book to describe the influences of Savitri Devi's favorite nineteenth-century French poet, to trace her time in Athens coinciding with Adolf Hitler's failed 1923 Munich putsch, and to recount conversations she held with former Wehrmacht soldiers. Furthermore, Evans utilized the text to illustrate the resurgence of interest in her fringe ideology as the historical experiences of the Third Reich receded into the past during the late twentieth century. He characterized the work as the only truly decent biographical account available on the figure due to the scarcity of surviving historical sources from her early life.
