More than half a century after his suicide and the destruction of his entire movement, Hitler continues to prey on the modern mind to a degree which is quite unique. Ian Kershaw's HITLER allows us to come closer than ever before to an understandingof the man and of the catastrophic sequence of events which allowed a bizarre misfit to climb from a Viennese doss-house to leadership of one of Europe's most sophisticated countries. As Hitler's seemingly pitiful fantasy of being Germany's saviourattracted more and more support, Kershaw brilliantly conveys why so many Germans adored him, connived with him or felt powerless to resist him.
