Pretty good biography of Hitler, probably the best of the early ones. Interesting details. I skimmed parts of the second half, because of too much detail. Gets into the nihilistic natures of Hitler and Goebbels at the end of their lives and the war. He was quite the "wizard" in getting others to believe in him. ( )

Great- learned a lot about the 1930-34 manaueverings for total power. ( )

Slightly dated but virtually the best all round portrait of how one man's sad character can mirror a time and a place, playing out his emotional poverty on the world. ( )
