Description In Pursuance Of Books Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil

When Hitler's war ended in 1945, the war over Hitler--who he really was, what gave birth to his unique evil--had just begun. Hitler did not escape the bunker in Berlin but, half a century later, he has managed to escape explanation in ways both frightening and profound. Explaining Hitler is an extraordinary quest, an expedition into the war zone of Hitler theories. This is a passionate, enthralling book that illuminates what Hitler explainers tell us about Hitler, about the explainers, and about ourselves.

Foreword to the ReviewThis review was posted over a period of 19 days, more like "notes for a review". My perception of the book has changed as I read on, and the afterword to the current eition, appended at the last, regrettably brought it down a few notches. IMO, victimisation in the past does not condone aggression and violence in the future.But then, that's just me. I agree and accept that there are different viewpoints.-----------------------------------------A few months ago, I got into a

Gave up reading this after about 50 pages. The author just rambles on and on and is very repetitive. There is very little structure to the book. Didn't see much point in continuing.

This is the most presumptuous attempt at a biography I have ever read.

Read this on George Will's recommendation. Fascinating.

Kind of long-winded but it goes through various theories about who was most responsible for the Holocaust, Hitler or his underlings or German people, and how evil was he really? Skimmed the last third of it since it was a hard slog to get through. Author could have abridged it, I think ! One controversy is interesting : either Hitler felt he was doing the right thing and felt no shame, or he was delighting in his evil, knowing it for what it was.

A powerful read from various scholars on what made Hitler Hitler.....I will be reflecting on this work for awhile!

The intro was fascinating, and the info he analyzed was very interesting and personally done... but overall the author, Ron Rosenbaum, just repeated himself too much, like a bad mystery movie. Skim this book for the info, but don't plan on reading every word after the middle of chapter one.
