About this listen

Join Simon and Tom, along with a few coughs and sniffles, for our discussion of Ian Kershaw's "The 'Hitler Myth'". This book uses the framework of "charasmatic authority" to understand how and why Hitler became popular during the early years in power, and how that was sustained over time. It was a seminal book within the new era of scholarship from the 1970s and 80s, and highly regarded to this day.
