Although much has been written about Adolf Hitler, he remains a creature of legend, myth and misconception....Only in recent years have those who knew Hitler have been willing or able to talk freely about him. The author has based this monumental biography on extensive research, involving a numer of previously unknown or unavailable sources, and including over one hundred and fifty taped interviews with people directly involved in Hitler's private and public life. The result is a portrait of Hitler - as man, politician, and military leader - more complex and comprehensive than any ever before published. With a masterful command of history, Mr. Toland has revealed Hitler within the context of the time that made him. The figure that emerges from these pages is in many ways more frightening than the traditional demonic caricature - for Toland has given the demon a human face. There are startling revelations in this book - details of Hitler's personal life never before known, and fascinating new perspectives on a number of well-known events. Many falsehoods are exposed and distortions set right. But more remarkably, John Toland has fiven shape and meaning to the vast wealth of detail assembled here. it is an extraordianry brilliant work of biography, of military, social and political history. Illustrated. 1035 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
