Description
Hitler: Volume II Downfall 1939-45 by Volker Ullrich is a meticulous and thought-provoking biography that offers a deeply nuanced portrait of one of history's most infamous leaders. By the summer of 1939, Hitler was at the height of his power, but his fortunes would soon turn dramatically as the conflict raged on. Ullrich argues that the very qualities that accounted for Hitler's popularity and rise to power were also what brought about his downfall. A skilled strategist and military commander, Hitler was also a deeply insecure leader who could be shaken by setbacks and quick to blame others for his own mistakes. Drawing on new sources and scholarship, this book provides a compelling analysis of the man who dragged the world into chaos. This is the final volume in Ullrich's landmark biography, which sheds light on the complexities and contradictions of one of history's most notorious figures.
