Call #: 943.086092 H675st Subjects Hitler, Adolf, 1889-1945   Hitler, Adolf, 1889-1945 -- Psychology.   Hitler, Adolf, 1889-1945 -- Childhood and youth   Personality and politics -- Germany -- Case studies.   World War, 1914-1918 -- Influence   Heads of state -- Germany -- Biography   National socialism   Germany -- History -- 1933-1945   Germany -- History -- 1918-1933 ISBN:  9781616144746 (cloth : acid-free paper) Description:  520 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  Hitler's Attributes Reassessed -- Hitler as a Product of His Times -- Out of the Desert, 1919-1922 -- Setback, Perseverance, and Infallibility, 1923-1929 -- Old Fighters, New Converts, Decisive Success, 1929-1932 -- Triumph of a Messiah, within Germany, 1933-1934 -- Arrival of a World Historical Personality in Europe, 1935-1936 -- Redeemer of the Germans, 1937-1939 -- The Siege of Germany. Summary:  The author reinterprets the known facts about the Nazi fuehrer to construct a convincing, realistic portrait of the man. In place of the hollow shell whom others have made into an icon of evil, Stolfi sees a complex, nuanced personality. He tells the story of Hitler, starting with the dreamy youth who showed talent for architectural design but who struggled academically and floundered without direction. The authoe ranks Hitler's successes from 1919 through 1941 as achievements so astonishing that he must be characterized, along with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon, as one of Hegel's impossibly rare world historical personalities. This revision of Hitler biography brings us closer to understanding a pivotal personality in the history of mankind. Genre:  Biographies.
