A bestseller in its original German edition and subsequently translated into more than a dozen languages, Joachim Fest's Hitler as become a classic portrait of a man, a nation, and an era. Fest tells and interprets the extraordinary story of a man's and a nation's rise from impotence to absolute power, as Germany and Hitler, from shared premises, entered into their covenant. He shows Hitler exploiting the resentments of the shaken, post-World War I social order and seeing through all that was hollow behind the appearance of power, at home and abroad. Fest reveals the singularly penetrating politician, hypnotizing Germans and outsiders alike with the scope of his projects and the theatricality of their presentation. Fest also, perhaps most importantly, brilliantly uncovers the destructive personality who aimed at and achieved devastation on an unprecedented scale. As history and as biography, this is a towering achievement, a compelling story told in a way only a German could tell it, "dispassionately, but from the inside." (Time)… (meer)

A great and insightful biography. We take history for granted, after all it did happen, but this story as fiction would be unbelievable. I had a peculiar surreal dream-like feeling during the part of the biography covering the late 20s - you know, it's time to wake up now! I haven't read a lot of Hitler biographies, but this one certainly seems to give a coherent and consistent psychological picture. It makes you wish you could have been present (and had a revolver), and it makes me think again about the US drone strikes. I was occasionally irritated by comments about Hitler's support in England or about how Hitler and the party weren't all that antisemitic in the early 30s (even though the author states that the SA would pass around collection cans labeled "For the destruction of the Jews"), but looking at the whole work, perhaps I am just overly sensitive.
The Kindle version has many typographical mistakes that look like OCR-type errors. Most disturbing, Alfred Jodl is always called Jodi. ( )

Heard this was one of the definitive general biographies. Reader gets a sense of the active politician dodging and weaving and often nearly losing in the lead up to the Beer Hall Putsch. History is contingent. What if. Here is a maker of history one wishes had not "succeeded" -- history is far from trends and forces, F. Braudel, the Annales school, and tectonic scale history notwithstanding. ( )

La lettura di questo libro è a tratti terribile. Non perché sia lungo quasi mille e cento pagine in cui a volte le subordinate si accatastano implacabili; e neppure a causa dei numerosissimi errori di stampa che, specie nella seconda metà, minano non solo l’ortografia ma pure la sintassi. Ciò che inquieta è il racconto di come un uomo con evidenti disturbi mentali riesca a conquistare il potere e il cuore di una nazione – per quanto questa possa essere malandata e alla ricerca di un futuro – senza che nessuno riesca a opporsi alla sua resistibile ascesa. Deciso a tutto, freddo nei momenti difficili, bravo a sfruttare le situazioni di difficoltà per rilanci a sorpresa, ma anche violento, misantropo e impenitente doppiogiochista, l’Uomo Nero del Novecento occidentale passa in neppure quindici anni dal niente al tutto, sfruttando le debolezze del sistema e l’aquescienza di troppi: è incredibile il numero di coloro che hanno pensato di potersi accordare con lui al fine di controllarlo, o magari di usarlo, e sono stati distrutti dal demone che avevano invocato. Il crollo è ancor più repentino dell’ascesa, in un delirio di onnipotenza favorito anche dai troppi servitori adulanti e segnato dalle terribili pagine, che tutti ben conosciamo, della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il racconto di Fest, risalente alla metà degli anni settanta e poi continuamente rivisto, è dettagliato, documentatissimo con citazioni che vanno dagli archivi del tempo alla memorialistica: l’autore cerca di raccontare l’uomo dietro alla maschera e per farlo analizza con precisione la società e gli esseri umani con cui interagisce. Il risultato è un libro non facile ma quanto mai necessario: per non dimenticare, specie in tempi di nuove fascinazioni per gli uomini forti e di spiccate personalizzazioni in politica. ( )

Excellent book -- very detailed look at the rise of Hilter. I have always wondered how a figure like Hilter could come to power in a modernized country such as Germany. This book gives a good look at how this takes place. Probably not the best book for WWII; however great look at Hilter's life and rise to power.

1495 Hitler, by Joachim C. Fest translated from the German by Richard and Clara Winston (read 21 Aug 1978) This biography was published in Germany in 1973. Periodically one must review the vividness of the horror that was Hitler. This book was particularly good on the period from 1919 to 1933. It seems to me that I really had not had a clear understanding of that period in Hitler's life before reading this book. I can see how Germans just did not believe all he said, and looked on him as an easy way out. This has been a really absorbing book, unqualifiedly good ( )
