Description: "How could a predominantly sober, hard-working, and well-education population have been persuaded to follow Hitler to the awful abyss of destruction? What was the source of his immense popularity? What was the image projected in his speeches, his writings, and his conversation? What were the assumptions behind "The Final Solution", Operation Barbarossa, 'The Night of the Long Knives'? What, in fact, were those elements from which the Hitler myth was constructed? With terrifying logic the sequence of his career emerges as the creation of a man who translated the private sphere of sentiment into the public sphere of political action'--back cover.
