Hitler’s Private Library : The Books That Shaped His Life
Attribution
by Timothy W. RybackPublication Details
Book1st edAlfred A. Knopf2008Description
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.
