Interpreting Hitler
History解读希特勒
(german) Sebastian Hafner
The most famous work by Sebastian Hafner, a master historian of German political theory, caused a sensation in Germany after its publication in 1978. It topped the German bestseller list for 43 consecutive weeks. It is still the most highly rated Hitler monograph in Germany and has a very high status in the hearts of experts on the history of World War II around the world. The book strives to dissect and evaluate Hitler objectively and impartially: How did he transform from an unknown and decadent artist to a "talented" politician? What achievements did he create in Germany after he came to power that made Germans crazy? Was his diplomatic success inevitable or accidental? What is wrong with his ultra-nationalist and anti-Semitic political thinking? How did his political decisions run counter to his political goals? Is he the supreme "Führer" or a traitor in the eyes of the Germans?
