Hitler

A radically new look at Hitler's life, thinking, and actions. The most important things we believe we know about Adolf Hitler are wrong, as Brendan Simms demonstrates in this comprehensively researched and forcefully argued biography. Hitler's thinking did not, as is commonly assumed, revolve around "Bolshevism"; rather, his most important point of reference was "Anglo-America," according to Simms. The United States and the British Empire were models for Hitler of a German world empire that was likewise to be based on territorial conquest, racism, and violence. The renowned historian not only draws a completely new picture of Hitler's worldview in his book, he also shows why this necessarily had to lead to a war of global dimensions: in order to survive, the German people had to achieve a power position at least as strong as "Anglo-America." And for a brief time it even seemed possible that Hitler would achieve dominion over the entire world.
