The Hitler of History

Rating:
Summary: Chasing The Real Hitler
Review: This synthesis of Hitler biography and historiography is offered with a precision and brio uncommon for a book of little more than two hundred pages. Lucaks is unabashedly opinioned and focuses only on those aspects of Hitler's character of interest to its author. Ultimately, the portrait that emerges is subtle, contradictory - in a word, human. Specialists may argue with Lucak's judgments, but as a reader with a general interest in the era I was profoundly affected by the "Hitler of History". Highly recommended.
