Hitler: 1889-1936 Hubris

books Jun 15, 2009

Back around 2000, Ian Kershaw wrote a large 2-volume biography of Hitler. Book 1 (Hubris as per above) is 912 pages.  Found an ex-library, hardback version on the web for virtually nothing.  Am 60 pages in already and yet Adolf is only 19 and WW1 hasn’t started yet. It’s a very well written text, with references everywhere.  I ordered the second book Hitler: 1936-1945: Nemesis from Better World Books. Again a used hardback. It’s arrived and sitting on the To Read shelf. Well, when I say shelf, I mean pile.
