Synopsis:

Even the demonic Hitler had a comprehensive philosophy, and Eberhard Jäckel probes deeply into the dictator’s mind to determine how he viewed the world.

Review: [Jäckel's] critique of the self-contradictions historical research has brought upon itself by abandoning systematic analysis and relying instead on intuitive judgments and the obiter dicta of ex-Nazis such as Hermann Rauschning is cogent and convincing. So also is his analysis of the development of Hitler's ideas from the 'conventional foundations' with which he began in 1920.--Geoffrey Barraclough "New York Review of Books "

A highly intelligent and very valuable book by one of the ablest writers on Nazism in Germany. Hitler's world view--the intellectual system which was the dynamic force of his career--is too often omitted from the history of his movement. Jäckel has reconstructed it with great skill and scholarship. His book fills a serious gap: it shows us the human motor which drove that otherwise inexplicable machine of brutal conquest and extermination.--H. R. Trevor-Roper
