Longlisted for the Plutarch Award (2021).

The second and concluding volume of Volker Ullrich's biography of Adolf Hitler begins in 1939, with the invasion of Poland, and follows the dictator to his suicide in the Berlin bunker in April 1945. Ullrich examines Hitler as a military commander who increasingly overruled his generals, his central role in the murder of Europe's Jews, his relationships with his inner circle, and the private man behind the public image. He also asks why so many Germans followed Hitler to the very end, even as the war was clearly lost and their cities lay in ruins. Drawing on a wealth of sources, Ullrich portrays a man who was neither a lunatic nor a mere puppet of others, but a politician who deliberately drove Germany and Europe into war and genocide.
