Summary:
A comprehensive new biography of
Hitler
focusing on the dictator's personality. The historical significance of Adolf
Hitler
has overshadowed the man behind the public persona. For decades, misconceptions about
Hitler
have percolated, but to cast
Hitler
as purely a psychopathic monster is to ignore the facets of his personality that help explain his enigmatic hold on the German populace. Ullrich recounts
Hitler
's personal journey from childhood to his consolidation of political power, and in doing so captures
Hitler
's canniness, instinctive grasp of politics, and gift for oratory as well as his megalomania, deep insecurity, and repulsive worldview.
