Hitler’s Private Library : The Books That Shaped His Life

  • Hitler's Private Library : The Books That Shaped His Life
  • Attribution

    by Timothy W. Ryback
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Alfred A. Knopf, 2008
  • Description

    A brilliantly original exploration of some of the formative influences in Hitler?s life?the books he most revered, and how they shaped the man and his thinking. We learn how hisextensive readings on religion and the occult provide the blueprint for his notion of divine providence, how the words of Nietzsche and Schopenhauer are reborn as infamous Nazi catchphrases, and, finally, how a biography of Frederick the Great fired the destructive fanaticism that compelled Hitler to continue fighting World War II when all hope of victory was lost. Hitler?s Private Library, a landmark in the study of the Third Reich, offers a remarkable view into Hitler?s intellectual world and personal evolution. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

    Timothy W. Ryback
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1990
  • Description

    Charting this process, Rock Around the Bloc looks at both sides of the thirty-year war between rock fans and Soviet bloc governments. Informed throughout by a deep knowledge and love for the music as well as an understanding of the Soviet bloc’s political and social realities, Rock Around the Bloc tells a fascinating story on many levels: the liberalization of communist society, the traumas and triumphs of Soviet bloc youth culture, the spread of rock’s influence in unlikely places, and the surprisingly rich variety of rock & roll in Eastern Europe that keeps its kinship to western music while forging a unique identity all its own.
