Selected as a Book of the Year by the New York Times, Times
Literary Supplement and The Times Despite his status as the most
despised political figure in history, there have only been four
serious biographies of Hitler since the 1930s. Even more
surprisingly, his biographers have been more interested in his rise
to power and his methods of leadership than in Hitler the person:
some have even declared that the Fuhrer had no private life. Yet to
render Hitler as a political animal with no personality to speak
of, as a man of limited intelligence and poor social skills, fails
to explain the spell that he cast not only on those close to him
but on the German people as a whole. In the first volume of this
monumental biography, Volker Ullrich sets out to correct our
perception of the Fuhrer. While charting in detail Hitler's life
from his childhood to the eve of the Second World War against the
politics of the times, Ullrich unveils the man behind the public
persona: his charming and repulsive traits, his talents and
weaknesses, his deep-seated insecurities and murderous passions.
Drawing on a wealth of previously neglected or unavailable sources,
this magisterial study provides the most rounded portrait of Hitler
to date. Ullrich renders the Fuhrer not as a psychopath but as a
master of seduction and guile - and it is perhaps the complexity of
his character that explains his enigmatic grip on the German people
more convincingly than the cliched image of the monster. This
definitive biography will forever change the way we look at the man
who took the world into the abyss.
