Description
Adolf Hitler remains one of the most destructive and enigmatic figures of the twentieth century - a man rightly remembered as an unparalleled force of evil. But understanding Hitler goes beyond the familiar headlines and horrific statistics.
Why did he harbour such obsessive hatred toward the Jews? What drove the calculated brutality of the Holocaust? While millions were being persecuted and murdered, what were ordinary Germans doing? And was Hitler solely to blame? This book on Hitler does not offer easy answers. Instead, it presents a sweeping, in-depth exploration of Nazi Germany and the forces - historical, political, and social - that shaped both the man and the movement.
To grasp Hitler in all his disturbing complexity, we must look beyond the man himself. This book aims to provide that essential perspective.
