Selling Hitler by Robert Harris tells the story of the Hitler Diaries scandal, where forged diaries attributed to Adolf Hitler were sold to several media outlets, including Stern and The Sunday Times.

The narrative exposes the greed, hubris, and gullibility of the media and experts involved, leading to a massive financial and reputational fallout when the forgeries were finally exposed by the West German state archives. Harris's account is based on extensive research, including interviews with key participants and prosecution evidence from the subsequent trial.
