Based on previously unpublished documents, diaries, notes, photographs, and dramatic interviews with Hitler's colleagues and associates, this is the definitive biography of one of the most despised yet fascinating figures of the 20th century. Painstakingly documented, it is a work that will not soon be forgotten.

American journalist and author William L. Shirer was a war correspondent for six years in Nazi Germany, having a front-row seat to Hitler’s rise in influence and power. His most definitive work on the subject, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, is a riveting account of life in the tyrannical state, a country transformed by war and dictatorship. The author was originally commissioned to write The Rise and Fall of Adolf Hitler for a young adult audience. This account loses none of the immediacy of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich....

"Review of Adolph Hitler's 'Mein Kampf'" is an essay of George Orwell. "Mein Kampf" ("My Struggle" or "My Fight") is a 1925 autobiographical manifesto by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler. The work describes the process by which Hitler became antisemitic and outlines his political ideology and future plans for Germany. Volume 1 of "Mein Kampf" was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926. The book was edited first by Emil Maurice, then by Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess.

For all the literature about Adolf Hitler, there have been just four seminal biographies; this is the fifth, a landmark work that sheds important new light on Hitler himself. Drawing on previously unseen papers and a wealth of recent scholarly research, Volker Ullrich reveals the man behind the public persona, from Hitler's childhood, to his failures as a young man in Vienna, to his experiences during the First World War, to his rise as a far-right party leader.

February 26, 1924 was the first day of the greatly anticipated high treason trial that would galvanize Germany - but few in the courtroom that morning anticipated that the leading defendant, General Erich Ludendorff, whose risky offensives during World War I doomed Germany to defeat, would soon be eclipsed by the private first class at his side, Adolf Hitler. Hitler was charged with treason after unsuccessfully trying to seize power in the notorious Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923.

El nombre de Adolf Hitler ha pasado a la historia de la humanidad como uno de sus más oscuros recuerdos. Adolf Hitler, nacido en 1889, intentó en su juventud ingresar en la Academia de Bellas Artes de Viena, pero fue rechazado. Más tarde, se alistó en el Ejército alemán para luchar durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Terminada la guerra se convirtió en un espía militar, encargado de denunciar y acabar con movimientos socialistas o pacifistas. En ese momento comenzó la demonización del judaísmo internacional, Hitler abandonó el Ejército, se inscribió en el Partido Nacionalsocialista Obrero Alemán.

In Hitler's Death, author and expert Luke Daly-Groves rigorously looks at the question: Did Hitler shoot himself in the Führerbunker or did he slip past the Soviets and escape to South America? Countless documentaries, newspaper articles, and internet pages written by conspiracy theorists have led the ongoing debate surrounding Hitler's last days. Historians have not yet managed to make a serious response. Until now. This book is the first attempt by an academic to return to the evidence of Hitler's suicide in order to scrutinize the most recent conspiracy arguments.

Trzecia część wyjątkowej biografii Adolfa Hitlera skupia się na pierwszych latach istnienia Narodowosocjalistycznej Niemieckiej Partii Robotników i wczesnych wystąpieniach publicznych przyszłego zbrodniarza wojennego. Publikacja ukazuje także, jak formowały się pierwsze jednostki szturmowców, co należało do ich zadań i jak radziły sobie one w zwalczaniu oponentów podczas partyjnych wieców. Autor przytacza tu m.in. wspomnienia Antona Drexlera, który wg części historyków był odpowiedzialny za przekonanie Hitlera do użycia swastyki jako przyszłego symbolu nazistów.

This is the strange and fascinating life of Erwin Rommel, from his days as a youth in Imperial Germany - when he had a child out of wedlock with an early girlfriend - through his lauded military exploits during World War I to his death by suicide during World War II, after he attempted a failed coup against Hitler. Rommel was a man of contradictions: a soldier who wrote a best-selling book about World War I, a commander who went from commanding Hitler's bodyguard to trying to kill him, and a serious military mind who was known for participating in practical jokes.

Czwarta część wyjątkowej biografii Adolfa Hitlera skupia się w głównej mierze na okresie od tzw. puczu piwiarnianego, którego celem było obalenie rządu Bawarii, do objęcia władzy przez Führera. Po nieudanej rewolucji przyszły wódz Niemiec wraz z innymi prowokatorami został oskarżony o zdradę stanu i osadzony w więzieniu w Landsberg, gdzie napisał Mein Kampf - książkę zawierającą jego wizję sprawowania władzy, nawołującą m.in. do eksterminacji Żydów, a która stała się głównym dziełem ideologii nazistowskiej III Rzeszy.

Joseph Goebbels (1897–1945) war der oberste Propagandist des NS-Regimes. Aber wie schaffte er es, Menschen von einer Ideologie zu überzeugen, die er selbst nie hundertprozentig lebte? Jörg von Bilavsky zeigt anschaulich, mit welch skrupellosen Methoden Goebbels seinen Machtapparat aufbaute und lenkte. Zugleich erlauben die inzwischen vollständig vorliegenden Tagebücher einen Einblick in das Innere eines zutiefst zerrissenen Menschen, der seine stärkste Orientierung in Hitler fand.

Die Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts war turbulent: Ganze Gesellschaften wurden umgestaltet, blutige Kriege geführt – oft unter Verachtung der grundlegendsten Werte. An der Spitze dieser Umwälzungen standen politische Führer, Demokraten wie Diktatoren, jeder von ihnen eine herausragende Persönlichkeit.

Auf der Grundlage bisher nie veröffentlichter Dokumente erzählt der amerikanische Wissenschaftsjournalist Jack El-Hai von der Begegnung des amerikanischen Militärpsychiaters Douglas M.Kelley mit der Elite des Naziregimes – unter ihnen "Reichsmarschall" Hermann Göring. In Vorbereitung auf den am 20. November 1945 eröffneten "Nürnberger Prozess" vor dem Internationalen Militärgerichtshof untersuchten amerikanische Ärzte die inhaftierten 52 Nazigrößen auf ihre psychische Verfassung.

The German Revolution of November 1918 is nowadays largely forgotten outside Germany. It is generally regarded as a failure even by those who have heard of it, a missed opportunity that paved the way for the rise of the Nazis and the catastrophe to come. Robert Gerwarth argues here that to view the German Revolution in this way is a serious misjudgment. Not only did it bring down the authoritarian monarchy of the Hohenzollern, it also brought into being the first ever German democracy in an amazingly bloodless way.

In his best-selling autobiography, Albert Speer, Minister of Armaments and chief architect of Nazi Germany, repeatedly insisted he knew nothing of the genocidal crimes of Hitler's Third Reich. In this revealing new biography, author Martin Kitchen disputes Speer's lifelong assertions of ignorance and innocence, portraying a far darker figure who was deeply implicated in the appalling crimes committed by the regime he served so well. Kitchen reconstructs Speer's life with what we now know, including information from valuable new sources that have come to light only in recent years.

Drawing on a wide range of previously unpublished British, French, German, Danish, and Czech archival sources, Spying on the Reich tells the story of Germany and its rearmament in the 1920s and 1930s; its relations with foreign governments and their intelligence services; and the relations and rivalries between Western governments, seen through the prism of the cooperation, or lack of it, between their spy agencies.
