Description
A New Understanding of Adolf Hitler's Worldview Adolf Hitler is one of the most studied men in history, yet many of the things we think we know about him are wrong. Historian Brendan Simms's major new biography reveals that Hitler's main preoccupation was not the threat of Bolshevism, but the danger of international capitalism and Anglo-America. Simms explores how Hitler's ideology emerged after the First World War, drawing on new sources to show how the United States and the British Empire were seen as models for Germany's own empire, founded on appropriation of land, racism, and violence. Hitler's aim was to create a global future for Germany, and his principal concern was not just the clash between German and Jews, but between Germans and what he called the 'Anglo-Saxons'. Ultimately, only dominance of the world would have been enough to achieve his objectives. This book is the first to explain Hitler's beliefs fully, demonstrating how ideas are the ultimate source of the most murderous behaviour.
