'Meticulous... Probably the most disturbing portrait of Hitler I
have ever read' Dominic Sandbrook, Sunday Times By the summer of
1939 Hitler was at the zenith of his power. Yet despite initial
triumphs in the early stages of war, the Fuhrer's fortunes would
turn dramatically as the conflict raged on. Realising that victory
was lost, and with Soviet troops closing in on his Berlin bunker,
Hitler committed suicide in April 1945; one week later, Nazi
Germany surrendered. His murderous ambitions had not only
annihilated his own country, but had cost the lives of millions
across Europe. In the final volume of this landmark biography,
Volker Ullrich argues that the very qualities - and the defects -
that accounted for Hitler's popularity and rise to power were what
brought about his ruin. A keen strategist and meticulous military
commander, he was also a deeply insecure gambler who could be
shaken by the smallest setback, and was quick to blame subordinates
for his own disastrous mistakes. Drawing on a wealth of new sources
and scholarship, this is the definitive portrait of the man who
dragged the world into chaos.
