Jefferson Chase (trans.)Despite his status as the most despised political figure in history, there have only been four serious biographies of Hitler since the 1930s. Even more surprisingly, his biographers have been more interested in his rise to power and his methods of leadership than in Hitler the person: some have even declared that the Fhrer had no private life.Yet to render Hitler as a political animal with no personality to speak of, as a man of limited intelligence and poor social skills, fails to explain the spell that he cast not only on those close to him but on the German people as a whole. In the first volume of this monumental biography, Volker Ullrich sets out to correct our perception of the Fhrer. While charting in detail Hitlers life from his childhood to the eve of the Second World War against the politics of the times, Ullrich unveils the man behind the public persona: his charming and repulsive traits, his talents and weaknesses, his deep-seated insecurities and murderous passions.Drawing on a wealth of previously neglected or unavailable sources, this magisterial study provides the most rounded portrait of Hitler to date. Ullrich renders the Fhrer not as a psychopath but as a master of seduction and guile and it is perhaps the complexity of his character that explains his enigmatic grip on the German people more convincingly than the clichd image of the monster.This definitive biography will forever change the way we look at the man who took the world into the abyss.Translated from the German by Jefferson Chase.
