Synopsis

Everything about Hitler continues to captivate the world, while the rights and wrongs of his legacy remain open to interpretation. How did he leap from an obscure, down-at-heel artist to a supposedly “brilliant” politician? What did he accomplish in Germany after taking power to make Germans go mad for him? Were his diplomatic successes inevitable or mere chance? What was wrong with his extreme nationalism and antisemitic political ideology? How did his political decisions end up running counter to his goals? Were the war crimes Hitler was accused of at the Nuremberg Trials truly his crimes? Was he the supreme Führer in the hearts of Germans, or a traitor? Understanding Hitler is a masterpiece of historical prose. Its greatest strength lies in breaking free from the limits of a chronological account to offer an objective, in-depth analysis of Hitler’s life, achievements, successes, mistakes, failures, crimes, and betrayal, allowing readers to see more clearly the nature of his betrayal of Germany and his crimes against humanity.

The protagonist should be Xier, preferably Bai Xier. It’d be even better if there’s no transmigration. And if there’s angst, that would be freaking amazing!!! Other requirements aside, all I want is no transmigration, no System, and over a million words!
