How did a former Austrian corporal in the Bavarian army with no
apparent gift for leadership or strategy become the leader of one of the
most civilized countries in Europe and turn it into a nightmare state?
Even as Hitler's troops forged a relentless path across Europe, attempts
were being made to find out what was going on in his mind. To an outside
observer it was clear that, perhaps more than any other world leader in
modern times, Hitler was living out his own pathological psychodrama on
the global stage.
This illustrated book presents revealing insights into one of the
world's most murderous dictators. Nigel Cawthorne draws on sound
psychological principles and the latest research into the causes and
nature of aberrant personalities to discover what impelled him to commit
such terrible atrocities.
