Description

|
|
|
In this major revision of our understanding of Adolf Hitler's life, Thomas Weber paints a group portrait of the List Regiment, Hitler's unit during World War I, to illuminate the story of his military service. Weber refutes the story crafted by Hitler himself, and so challenges the historical argument that the First World War provided a crucible for his political development. Contrary to myth, says Weber, the regiment consisted largely of conscripts (not enthusiastic volunteers), and Hitler served with scores of Jews, including noted artist Albert Weisberger, who proved more heroic—and decidedly more popular—than the future Führer. "Fascinating from start to finish, Weber's painstaking research and lively writing style are bound to make this a seminal work, one as informative as it is engaging."—Canada Post
