A "Washington Post "Notable Book
With a new chapter on eugenicist Madison Grant's "The Passing of
the Great Race"
In this brilliant and original exploration of some of the formative
influences in Adolf Hitler's life, Timothy Ryback examines the
books that shaped the man and his thinking.
Hitler was better known for burning books than collecting them but,
as Ryback vividly shows us, books were Hitler's constant companions
throughout his life. They accompanied him from his years as a
frontline corporal during the First World War to his final days
before his suicide in Berlin. With remarkable attention to detail,
Ryback examines the surviving volumes from Hitler's private book
collection, revealing the ideas and obsessions that occupied Hitler
in his most private hours and the consequences they had for our
world.
A feat of scholarly detective work, and a captivating biographical
portrait, "Hitler's Private Library" is one of the most intimate
and chilling works on Hitler yet written.
