A New York Times bestseller, this major new biography of Hitler puts an emphasis
on the man himself: his personality, his temperament, and his beliefs.
Volker Ullrich's Hitler, the first in a two-volume biography, has changed the
way scholars and laypeople alike understand the man who has become the
personification of evil. Drawing on previously unseen papers and new scholarly
research, Ullrich charts Hitler's life from his childhood through his
experiences in the First World War and his subsequent rise as a far-right
leader. Focusing on the personality behind the policies, Ullrich creates a vivid
portrait of a man and his megalomania, political skill, and horrifying
worldview.
