This gripping book deals with Adolf Hitler, Nazism, and the process of the rise of the Third Reich. It offers a fascinating insight that is not only objective but also based on careful historical research. It begins with Hitler's childhood and his tormenting experience in Vienna, where he lived as a poor artist. After recounting his participation in World War I, it shows the beginnings of his political activity in Munich, where he used violence as a means to gain political power. The book continues with a description of Germany's rearmament and World War II, culminating in Berlin, depicting the backdrop of events that took place in the bunker beneath the Reich Chancellery. The book concludes with a reckoning with the main architects of this apocalypse of the twentieth century. Two appendices are included, one of which illustrates Hitler's relationships with women. Thus, readers essentially receive two books: one detailing Adolf Hitler's private and public life, and the other showing him against the backdrop of broader events, of which he was often the architect.
