Adolf Hitler is one of the most studied men in history, and yet the
most important things we think we know about him are wrong. As
Brendan Simms's major new biography shows, Hitler's main
preoccupation was not, as widely believed, the threat of
Bolshevism, but that of international capitalism and Anglo-America.
These two fears drove both his anti-semitism and his determination
to secure the 'living space' and living standards necessary to
survive in a world dominated by the British Empire and the United
States. Drawing on new sources, Brendan Simms traces the way in
which Hitler's ideology emerged after the First World War. The
United States and the British Empire were, in his view, models for
Germany's own empire, similarly founded on appropriation of land,
racism and violence. Hitler's aim was to create a similarly global
future for Germany - a country seemingly doomed otherwise not just
to irrelevance, but, through emigration and foreign influence, to
extinction. His principal concern during the resulting cataclysm
was not just what he saw as the clash between German and Jews, or
German and Slav, but above all that between Germans and what he
called the 'Anglo-Saxons'. In the end only dominance of the world
would have been enough to achieve Hitler's objectives, and it
ultimately required a coalition of virtually the entire world to
defeat him. Brendan Simms's new book is the first to explain
Hitler's beliefs fully, demonstrating how, as ever, it is ideas
that are the ultimate source of the most murderous behaviour.
