ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Erik Jan Hanussen: Hitler's Jewish Clairvoyant is the first English-language biography on the Houdini-like seer who dazzled Central Europe in the '20s and early '30s. Mel Gordon chronicles Hanussen's extraordinary stage career, reveals the sources of his magic and psychic stunts, divulges his relationship with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, and explores the circumstantial links of the Jewish mentalist to the mysterious Reichstag Fire and the imposition of Hitler's Third Reich.
