Chronicle Concering Books Hitler: A Study in Tyranny
This book was recommended by a well-respected author focused on the period when Hitler came to power. I bought the book because I study human behavior in political systems and the rise of Nazi Germany is a classic example. Its easy to criticize the German people for their decision to elect Nazis to power but the real story is much more complex. The winds of the time (aftermath of World War I, economic depression) along with the state of politics and mass psychology are the real factors that allowed a person like Hitler to rise to power. His enigmatic personality, harboring a will to power was hidden from the German people until it was too late. Bullock goes a masterful job of explaining the complex currents of the time and the personalities that made the rise of Germany possible.Point Regarding Books Hitler: A Study in Tyranny

This book is utterly compelling. It is difficult to believe it is a work of fact not fiction so outlandish are the events related within. At the risk of violating Godwin's law, it is difficult not to draw parallels between the rise of Hitler and more current affairs. For example his use of mass media to reach out directly to his supporters strikes a chord with recent elections. Also, Hitler's firm belief that words are not intended for the delivery of truth but to coerce the listener around to
My dad bought this book back in the seventies and I've still got it.Very thorough book.
Not a study of Hitler as insane anti-Semite, but of Hitler as master politician. Extremely well researched and detailed look at the entirety of Hitler's life, using captured documents, Nuremburg records, and interviews with some of the important people involved. An attempt to explain how a man could rise to power in Germany who was not German but Austrian, never finished high school, never had a real job outside his stint in the army, never visited any country except Germany and Austria (and

It's not very readable, given the time in which it was originally written (during the 60's). Besides being written during the last century, it is verbose and technical as well. So, I would not start reading about Hitler here, but if you're a History buff and are deeply interested in WWII issues, this is a valuable classic.
