Hitler's First War: Adolf Hitler, the Men of the List Regiment, and the First World War
"The authoritative volume, will remain so for a long time to come--if not for good--and is simply not to be missed! This is the best book on Hitler in many years." --he Military Advisor"A tour de force of scholarly research, an oft-noted, but dimly documented, chapter in Adolf Hitler's career.... An edifice worth regarding with some attention, because the implications are so vast." --History News Network"A well-researched exploration, raising some interesting questions about Hitler's beliefs and attitudes during the First World War." --Sir Ian Kershaw"Fascinating from start to finish, Weber's painstaking research and lively writing style are bound to make this a seminal work, one as informative as it is engaging." -The Canada Post"A superb new work of history" -Commentary"The title of this book is accurate and comprehensive, but gives no idea of the scope and importance of its contents... formidably impressive." -Times Literary Supplement"An enterprising and thoughful new study based on skilful research in the archives and elsewhere... Weber's discoveries have enabled him to write a very informative and readable new analysis." -The Spectator(UK)"Groundbreaking and minutely detailed study." -Military Times(UK)"A triumph of original research... fundamentally alters our understanding of one of the most studied figures of the 20th century." -Wall Street Journal
