About this product

Product Information

From his illegitimate birth in a small Austrian village to his fiery death in a bunker under the Reich chancellery in Berlin, Adolf Hitler left a murky trail, strewn with contradictory tales and overgrown with self-created myths. One truth prevails: the sheer scale of the evils that he unleashed on the world has made him a demonic figure without equal in this century. Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the character of the bizarre misfit in his thirty-year ascent from a Viennese shelter for the indigent to uncontested rule over the German nation that had tried and rejected democracy in the crippling aftermath of World War I. With extraordinary vividness, Kershaw recreates the settings that made Hitler's rise possible: the virulent anti-Semitism of prewar Vienna, the crucible of a war with immense casualties, the toxic nationalism that gripped Bavaria in the 1920s, the undermining of the Weimar Republic by extremists of the Right and the Left, the hysteria that accompanied Hitler's seizure of power in 1933 and then mounted in brutal attacks by his storm troopers on Jews and others condemned as enemies of the Aryan race. In an account drawing on many previously untapped sources, Hitler metamorphoses from an obscure fantasist, a "drummer" sounding an insistent beat of hatred in Munich beer halls, to the instigator of an infamous failed putsch and, ultimately, to the leadership of a ragtag alliance of right-wing parties fused into a movement that enthralled the German people. This volume, the first of two, ends with the promulgation of the infamous Nuremberg laws that pushed German Jews to the outer fringes of society, and with the march of the German army into the Rhineland, Hitler's initial move toward the abyss of war.

Exactly as described. Seller provided pictures of actual book sold which was very helpful. Not only was the shipping very quick, the book was packaged incredibly well. The book was protected so well during shipping that it arrived without any damage. This is likely the best bookseller I have ever ordered from on eBay. This seller is a true professional and a deserving of your business.

  • Sad little man

    This excellent book delivers with many of the social, political, and international issues surrounding Hitler's election, and details surrounding Hitler's rise to power, his ww1 service, and factors such as the SA, that arose before 1936. If the reader had any ideas of Hitler as a savior this will help steer you right. Quality binding, good paper. Great photos. Gave me a good insight into the current election shenanigans, and perhaps what's intended by our current elected officials for all of us if they succeed in disrupting the government.

  • Great book and source for psychology

    Ian Kennedy provides a detailed analysis and historically competent story on the compelling mystery of how a human can attract so many to do so little for others.
