About the author

Louis Leo Snyder (1907–1993) was an American-born German scholar who witnessed the Nazi mass meetings and wrote about them in Hitlerism: The Iron Fist in Germany. He predicted Adolf Hitler's rise to power, alliance with Benito Mussolini, and war upon the French and the Jews.

His 1932 book Hitler and Nazism (under the pseudonym Nordicus) predicted Hitler's rise to power. It was the first publication of the complete National Socialist Program.

Reviews

[Nick Geiser · Rating 4 out of 5]

The book was full of valuable information. It gave me an inside view on the propaganda that was spread in order to make the Germans hate jews. This book enraged me and made me laugh at how outrageous some of the Nazi beliefs were.

I really liked the plot twist at the end. I think making Hitler turn into a dragon was the best approach to the remake.
