The Meaning Of Hitler (Paperback, New Ed)

Much the best of the short books on Hitler; written 20 years ago, but full of still-fascinating insights about his character and about the history of the Germany he adopted as his homeland which he ruined by his faulty grasp of how to use the power that he was so deft at securing. Both his astonishing successes and his crimes are justly and fairly set out. One of those books by a journalist that makes professional historians jealous, because it is done so well. (Kirkus UK)

A remarkable historical and psychological study of the enigma of Adolf Hitler and his impact on the twentieth century - by the bestselling author of DEFYING HITLER. 'Dazzlingly brilliant' OBSERVER 'Mr Haffner ... has exposed better, and more briefly, than anyone else the clockwork of that infernal machine' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH Sebastian Haffner examines Hitler's lifespan, his performance, his successes, errors, intellectual misconceptions, crimes and, last but not least, his great betrayal of his nation, the Western world and human civilisation. 'What makes Haffner's book different is that it is not one more biography but an analysis - a most penetrating analysis - of what Hitler was up to in his astonishing career' A.L. Rowse 'Mr Haffner...has exposed better, and more briefly, than anyone else the clockwork of that infernal machine' Gordon Brook-Shepherd, Sunday Telegraph
