Description

Hitler's path to power was far from certain 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. As the party's membership hemorrhaged and financial backers withdrew, Hitler's position seemed precarious. Yet, in a few brief weeks, he was appointed chancellor of Germany. In this gripping account, Timothy W. Ryback reveals the complex and uncertain months leading up to Hitler's rise to power. Drawing on previously un-accessed archival materials, Ryback sheds new light on Hitler's personal and professional life, including backroom deals, unlikely alliances, and stunning betrayals. The story is one of how a wearied president, bound by oath to uphold the constitution, ultimately decided to appoint Hitler chancellor in January 1933.
