520    February 26, 1924, was the first day of the greatly 
       anticipated high treason trial that would galvanize 
       Germany―but few in the courtroom that morning anticipated
       that leading defendant General Erich Ludendorff, whose 
       risky offensives during World War I doomed Germany to 
       defeat, would soon be eclipsed by the private first class 
       at his side, Adolf Hitler. Hitler was charged with treason
       after unsuccessfully trying to seize power in the 
       notorious Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923. Before the 
       trial, Hitler was only a minor, if ambitious, local party 
       leader. Yet once the proceedings began, his days of 
       relative obscurity were over. Including never-before-
       published sources, this richly informed, day-by-day 
       account shows how Hitler metamorphosed into a mesmerizing 
       demagogue and used his trial as a stage for Nazi 
       propaganda. Chilling in the hypothetical questions it 
       raises, The Trial of Adolf Hitler illuminates our 
       understanding of Hitler’s path to power.
