Publisher's summary

Explore the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Was Hitler, as Ian Kershaw asked, a natural consequence of German history, or an aberration? Not that Hitler had been in hiding, waiting to attack. The Führer had actually been following an aggressive and savage foreign policy for almost 10 years, and been named Man of the Year by Time magazine in 1938.

This is not an audiobook about World War II, but about the man, Adolf Hitler, one of the faces and names that still arouse the strongest feelings - repulsion, resentment, and even fanaticism - but one who also had a childhood and a youth, a father and a mother. It is the road to madness - beginning that day in August of 1934 when he took over absolute power and ordered allegiance and loyalty to him alone - that this book is about.

Some of the topics covered in this audiobook include:

  • Hitler's origins
  • His inception
  • The anti-Semitic capital of Europe
  • Munich
  • First World War
  • Hitler's ascension
  • Mein Kampf
  • His downfall
  • The remains of Adolf Hitler
  • And a great deal more that you don't want to miss out on!

Liked It

Any additional comments?

I liked this book. It was short and to the point. I would say it is a good primer to assuming Hitler's psyche. You will have to most likely read several books on Hitler to a clearer picture of what caused his behavior and decision-making.

Interesting

Any additional comments?

The book presents a good insight into the early Hitler. Most books do not show Hitler as a young man facing normal life issues. This book is a good place to start if one wants to know a little bit about the background of Hitler.

Awesome

Any additional comments?

A concise history of Hitler. Engaging with the correction to facts a was misled about before. There is a few example of repetition that can be obnoxious. Overall, it was awesome.

A Good Biography

Any additional comments?

I found this short book to support much of what I assumed in Hitler's own book. With being so long and dense of a read it is nice to have such a short guide to the fundamental details here.

Perfect Biography

Any additional comments?

This is a good book to get an overall essence of who was Adolf Hitler, his early days and past life before converting one of the most notorious dictators in history. I also liked the fact that you can get to know a little bit about his family.

A very well described book which is easy to understand despite the scary subject material. unquestionably some parallels with the rise of Donald Trump.As they say 'those who don't learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them'.

Great Summary

Any additional comments?

Great summary of the evil dictator who killed millions and strived to illuminate all races not equal to his Aryan race. I liked the quote "for evil to flourish, it only compels good men to do nothing".
