A very different biography of Hitler, revealing aspects of his life that are either unknown or hardly known, based on original research in primary sources, analysed and narrated in a fresh, insightful style. Did you know that Hitler was a radically 'Green' politician? Or that at his trial after the failed Munich Putsch the courtroom was besieged by his many female admirers? That he instituted a National Health Service and cruise ship holidays for the workers? That he saw himself, above all else, as an artist? This is the first book: to explain convincingly the origins of Hitler's anti-Semitism; to demonstrate the crucial importance of art in Hitler's life and vision for the German people; and to reveal the truth about the 1939 assassination attempt on Hitler. It is a lucid and cogent analysis of the genesis of the Holocaust. It is carefully selected extracts from Mein Kampf included. It is a hardback edition sold over 20,000 copies. This is a penetrating insight into the complex and twisted mind of Adolf Hitler.
