Power, ideology, and destruction in one of the darkest chapters of modern history. In Hitler, Alan Wykes peels back the myth to show the man and the monster behind the name. From Vienna’s alleys to the grand stage of German politics, from oratory and propaganda to battlefield defeat and collapse — this book traces Adolf Hitler’s journey with sharp focus and vivid visuals.
Drawing on photographs, documents, and eyewitness accounts, Wykes shows how Hitler’s ambition, ideology, and ruthlessness reshaped a nation and plunged the world into war. He explores not just the key events — invasions, speeches, and betrayals — but also how Hitler’s vision of supremacy, his cult of personality, and his capacity for manipulation brought millions to follow.
Compact yet compelling, Hitler is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how tyranny arises, how it is maintained, and how it finally crumbles. A chilling reminder of what happens when hate becomes power and when power is built on horror.
