By Steven Bach, read by Kenneth Branagh

Leni Riefenstahl was one of the greatest women film directors of the 20th 
century, famous for her Triumph of the Will, a propaganda film of the 1934 
Nazi Party rally in Nuremberg, Germany and for her film of the 1936 Olympics 
at Berlin, orchestrated as Nazi propaganda. This biography looks behind the 
myths and legends which have cloaked Leni Riefenstahl's actions during the 
Nazi period.
