Based on original research in primary sources, this radical biography of Hitler is presented in a fresh, insightful style and reveals aspects of the dictator’s life that were previously unknown. It attempts to explain convincingly the origins of Hitler’s anti-Semitism, demonstrates the crucial importance of art in Hitler’s life and vision for the German people, provides a lucid and cogent analysis of the genesis of the Holocaust, and reveals the truth about the 1939 assassination attempt on Hitler. Thorough and engaging, this is a penetrating insight into the complex and twisted mind of Adolf Hitler.
What I always have to ask myself with a book this recent is: did we really need another book about Dolfie? The guy does bring up a few good points, but much of it is...er, rather debatable. And although his writing style is generally gripping, there was the occasional sentence or two which came off seeming downright silly.
