This best-selling volume has been hailed as th^ most compelling biography of the German dictator yet written. Ian Kershaw's Hitler brings us closer than ever before to the heart of its subject's immense darkness. Hitler here emerges from obscurity to uncontested rule over a disillusioned people desperate to escape from political and economic chaos.

Drawing on previously untapped sources—including Joseph Goebbels's diaries, recently discovered in Moscow—this volume ends with the promulgation of the Nuremberg laws that pushed German Jews to the fringes of society and the march of the German army into the Rhineland, Hitler's first step toward the abyss of war. Horrifying, unstoppabiy readable, rich with analysis the implications of which remain all too relevant as we near the end of Hitler's century, this is "biography of profound importance" (Thomas Childers, Boston Globe).
"Kershaw is able to clarify, perhaps better than any biographer who preceded him, what made Hitler's dictatorial power possible."
