Description

The story of Adolf Hitler's rise to power is one that has been largely accepted at face value for over ninety years. However, a closer examination reveals that his account of his experiences in the aftermath of World War I was just as unreliable as his wartime claims. Thomas Weber sets out to strip away the myth and fabrication from Hitler's own tale, revealing the real story of how an awkward and unemployed individual with uncertain political ideas became the charismatic leader we know. This is a gripping account of how Hitler's ideas and priorities shifted over time, ultimately leading to his radicalization and the failed Ludendorff putsch in November 1923. It was this event that proved to be the making of Hitler, and he quickly capitalized on the opportunity it presented.
