This book is a historical and psychological examination of the enigma of Adolf Hitler―who he was, how he wielded power, and why he was destined to fail.The book analyzes the life and work of Adolf Hitler and is divided into seven chapters, each treating a different aspect of the man. Beginning with Hitler’s early life, the author probes the historical, political, and emotional forces that molded his character. In examining the inhumanity of a man for whom politics became a substitute for life, he discusses Hitler’s bizarre relationships with women, his arrested psychological development, his ideological misconceptions, his growing obsession with racial extermination, and the murderous rages of his distorted mind. Finally, Haffner confronts the most disturbing question of all: Could another Hitler rise to power in modern Germany? A clean very presentable slipcase book.
