#1 - Hitler: Volume IVolker Ullrich

Selected as a Book of the Year by the New York Times, Times Literary Supplement and The Times

Despitehis 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 Führer 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 Führer. While charting in detail Hitler’s 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 rende

“The shame of Germany’s surrender on November 11 in the forest of Compiègne overwhelmed him…Like St. Joan, he heard voices summoning him to save Germany. All at once ‘a miracle came to pass’—the darkness encompassing Hitler evaporated. He could see again! He solemnly vowed, as promised, that he would ‘become a politician and devote his energies to carrying out the command he had received.’ …That night in the lonely ward at Pasewalk the most portentous force of the twentieth century was born. Politics had come to Hitler, not Hitler to politics.”
— Adolf Hitler: The Definitive Biography

There are so many books written about Adolf Hitler and his rise to power that it’s difficult to settle on one and be satisfied with it. The enormity of the war that he brought about and the depravity of the Nazis make it really difficult to say that I’m done with it, that I’ve had enough. Fortunately, the countless volumes on Germany in World War II, won’t let you run out of books. It’s possible to go and find details and stories that you didn’t know existed in the first place.

Toland is a great storyteller and this book is among the best biographies of Hitler that I know of. It’s not as long as Kershaw’s or Ullrich’s and despite the “definitive” in its titl
