Readers learn what Hitler thought about key historical events, the writers who influenced him, and-most importantly-the philosophy that emerged out of them. Zitelmann received his doctorate in philosophy more than 35 years ago after completing his thesis on the Fuhrer- Hitler: The Policies of Seduction-and it shows. But it has always seemed to me that the ideas that shaped and drove Hitler have received short shrift from historians. Authors tend to focus more on his personality, speeches, and psychology the battles he fought, the mistakes he made, the characteristics that allowed him to seduce a nation on his rise to power.Īll of these things are worthy of examination, of course. While tens of thousands of books have been written on Hitler, few of them seem to seriously probe the Fuhrer’s ideas. While I’m not yet completely through the book-2022 has been a rather busy year-I’m already giving it two thumbs up. It’s a chilling place to be, to be sure but one of the advantages of Zitelmann’s book is that it gives an incredibly insightful analysis of Hitler’s ideas.
Rainer Zitelmann’s new book Hitler’s National Socialism, and despite myself, I’ve once again found myself digging into the mind of Hitler. (And let’s face it: the topic is pretty ugly and dark.) Though I’ve read stuff here and there on Hitler and the Nazis since then, I never really felt the need to seriously study the subject matter again because Toland’s book was so penetrating and expansive.
