Hitler was a passionate reader, his education and worldview formed largely by the books he read. Recently, Timothy Ryback uncovered in the Library of Congress hundreds of volumes from Hitler s forgotten private collection, complete with Hitler s marginalia underlines, question marks, exclamation points, questions, and comments. Now Ryback traces key phrases and ideas from Hitler s personal books into his writing, speeches, conversations, thinking, and actions. Ryback shows us how Hitler urged his fellow party members to read Henry Ford s anti-Semitic tract, The International Jew, and how Hitler s own notions of Aryan superiority were shaped by a specific interpretation of the Nordic epic Peer Gynt. We come to understand the particulars of his admiration for The Merchant of Venice and Don Quixote and the German philosophers who provided the basis for his anti-Semitism.
