From a prize-winning historian, the definitive biography of Adolph
Hitler Hitler offers a deeply learned and radically revisionist
biography, arguing that the dictator's main strategic enemy, from
the start of his political career in the 1920s, was not communism
or the Soviet Union, but capitalism and the United States. Whereas
most historians have argued that Hitler underestimated the American
threat, Simms shows that Hitler embarked on a preemptive war with
the United States precisely because he considered it such a potent
adversary. The war against the Jews was driven both by his anxiety
about combatting the supposed forces of international plutocracy
and by a broader desire to maintain the domestic cohesion he
thought necessary for survival on the international scene. A
powerfully argued and utterly definitive account of a murderous
tyrant we thought we understood, Hitler is essential reading for
anyone seeking to understand the origins and outcomes of the Second
World War.
