The chilling and little-known story of Adolf Hitler's eight-year
march to the pinnacle of German politics. On the night of January
30, 1933, Adolf Hitler leaned out of a spotlit window of the Reich
chancellery in Berlin, bursting with joy. The moment seemed
unbelievable, even to Hitler. After an improbable political journey
that came close to faltering on many occasions, his march to power
had finally succeeded. While the path of Hitler's rise has been
told in books covering larger portions of his life, no previous
work has focused solely on his eight-year climb to rule: 1925-1933.
Renowned author Peter Ross Range brings this period back to
startling life with a narrative history that describes brushes with
power, quests for revenge, nonstop electioneering, American-style
campaign tactics, and-for Hitler-moments of gloating triumph
followed by abject humiliation. Indeed, this is the tale of a
high-school dropout's climb from the infamy of a failed coup to the
highest office in Europe's largest country. It is a saga of
personal growth and lavish living, a melodrama rife with love
affairs and even suicide attempts. But it is also the definitive
account of Hitler's unrelenting struggle for control over his
raucous movement, as he fought off challenges, built and bullied
coalitions, quelled internecine feuds and neutralized his
enemies-all culminating in the creation of the Third Reich and the
western world's descent into darkness. One of the most dramatic and
important stories in world history, Hitler's ascent spans Germany's
wobbly recovery from World War I through years of growing
prosperity and, finally, into crippling depression.
