Norman Stone

Hitler (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This biography looks beneath the usual assessment of Adolf Hitler the monster, digging deeper into his life and examining his successes alongside his many failings. Through his meticulous research and illuminating writing, Stone reveals a man who was surprisingly human: not the clear-sighted decisive leader he seemed, but rather plagued by doubt and often uncertain about his next course of action.
