THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ADOLF HITLER
by Robert Payne
  
"The rise of Adolf Hitler to supreme
power is one of those events in world history which are almost
totally inexplicable in any rational terms. The improbable adventurer
who conquered the German people by the sheer force of his will,
and then armed them and set out to conquer the world, was an
unlikely candidate for the mantle of Napoleon or Alexander the
Great, yet he conquered vaster areas than they ever conquered,
and he left on world history claw-marks so deep that it is unlikely
that the wounds will be healed for centuries to come. He was
one of those rare men who from time to time emerge from obscurity
to shake the world to its foundations. Includes a family tree,
photos of Hitler, some of his sketches and paintings, photos
of Eva Braun and various officers who served under Hitler, and
other photos as well. TOC includes: The Young Hitler - The Years
of the Locust - War And Revolution - The Revolutionary - The
Claws Of The Cat - The Enjoyment Of Power - The Easy Conquests
- The Conqueror - The War Of Annihilation - The World Fights
Back - Catastrophe. Published in 1973 by Praeger Publishers.
