WWII, the Holocaust, 50 million deaths, famine & suffering unimaginable. Who could have dreamed such a Wagnerian scene in the mid-20th century? Only one man: Adolf Hitler. How he brought it off, how he staged the takeover of a great nation, all its resources, largely with the consent & approbation of its people, in their full knowledge of what he stood for & intended to do--this is what fascinates, & this is the theme of John W. Toland's powerful, definitive biography.
"Masterful...compelling...remarkably documented...a landmark."--John Barkham Reviews
