Description
Ian Kershaw's groundbreaking analysis of Hitler's rise to power and his impact on Germany. This book offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most enduring enigmas, exploring how the Nazi leader was able to command widespread support from ordinary Germans despite their lack of enthusiasm for Nazism. Drawing on new archival research and combining theoretical insights with rigorous analysis, Kershaw sheds light on the complex dynamics at play during this period. By examining the 'cult' of Hitler from its origins in the 1920s to its collapse, Kershaw's model provides a problem-solving approach that challenges conventional wisdom. The result is a nuanced understanding of dictatorship and its effects on ordinary people, with implications for our understanding of other charismatic leaders.
