Adolf Hitler is the most notorious political figure of the
twentieth century. The story of his life, how he became a dictator,
and how he managed to convince so many to follow his cause is a
subject of perennial fascination. Balancing narrative and analysis,
this biography employs a chronological approach to describe the
main features of Hitler's career. Set against the background of
developments in Germany and Europe during his lifetime, the text
tells the extraordinary story of how an Austrian layabout rose to
become Fuhrer of the Third Reich. The chapters incorporate into
their narrative the major debates surrounding Hitler's ideas,
behaviour and historical significance. Particular attention is paid
to his experience as a soldier in 1914 -18 and to the reasons why
his original left-wing sympathies transmuted into Nazism. Arguments
over the real character of Hitler's dictatorship are analysed and a
measured assessment is offered on the disputed issues of how far
Hitler initiated the Third Reich's domestic and foreign policies
himself and to what extent he was controlled by events. His
destructive leadership of wartime Germany is now a subject of close
scrutiny among historians and the book's final chapters deal with
this theme and offer a set of reflections on Hitler's relationship
with the German people and his legacy to the German nation. Michael
Lynch provides a balanced guide to this most difficult of figures
that will be enlightening for students and general readers alike
