Description
Hitler's final six months of power were a period of dramatic uncertainty, marked by turmoil and backroom deals. In the summer of 1932, the Weimar Republic was on the brink of collapse, with one in three Germans unemployed and violence rampant. The Nazi Party, led by Adolf Hitler, surged at the polls, but ultimately lost two million votes in the November elections. Despite this setback, Hitler remained a force to be reckoned with, and his appointment as chancellor of Germany in January 1933 marked a turning point in the country's history. In this gripping account, Timothy W. Ryback sheds new light on the events that led to Hitler's rise to power, drawing on previously un-accessed archival materials. Ryback reveals the complex and often unlikely alliances that helped shape Hitler's path to the top, as well as the stunning betrayals and backroom deals that ultimately led to the dismantling of democracy. A fascinating and insightful exploration of one of the most pivotal periods in modern history.
