In the summer of 1939 Hitler was at the zenith of his power. The Nazis had consolidated political control in Germany and a series of foreign-policy coups had restored Germany to the status of a major world power. He now embarked on realizing his lifelong ambition: to provide the German people with the resources they needed to flourish and to exterminate those who stood in the way. Yet despite a series of stunning initial triumphs, Hitler's decision to invade the Soviet Union in 1941 turned the tide for good. Now, Volker Ullrich offers fascinating new insight into Hitler's character and personality, vividly portraying the insecurity, obsession with minutiae, and narcissistic penchant for gambling that led Hitler to overrule his subordinates and then blame them for his failures; and, ultimately, when he realized the war was not winnable, to embark on the annihilation of Germany itself in order to punish the people who he believed had failed to hand him victory. This is a masterful account of a spectacular downfall, and an essential addition to our understanding of Hitler and the Second World War. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Hitler, Adolf,|d1889-1945. 600 10 Hitler, Adolf,|d1889-1945|xPolitical and social views. 600 10 Hitler, Adolf,|d1889-1945|xPsychology. 650 0 Personality|vCase studies. 650 0 Heads of state|zGermany|vBiography. 650 0 Dictators|zGermany|vBiography. 650 0 National socialism. 650 1 Dictators|zGermany|vBiography. 651 0 Germany|xHistory|y1933-1945. 651 0 Germany|xPolitics and government|y1933-1945. 655 7 Biographies.|2gsafd 700 1 Chase, Jefferson S.,|etranslator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13751176?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781696603065_180.jpeg
