Adolf Hitler represents a great paradox: filled with hate, incapable of any normal interpersonal human relationship, unwilling even to discuss political issues, yet managed to gather a massive mass support, drawing in and convincing millions of people. How did this happen? This is the critical question that this book attempts to answer.
The Holocaust, the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union, the outbreak of World War II – the exclusive responsibility for all these catastrophic and horrific events, and more, could be attributed solely to Hitler. He was certainly a war criminal, according to many without precedent in historical records. However, as many who knew him attest, he often managed to exert tremendous influence over those around him.
Laurence Rees examines the nature of Hitler's appeal and reveals the role that his supposed "charisma" played in his success. In his previous works, Rees has explored the inner workings of the Nazi state in his book The Nazis: A Lesson from History, as well as the crimes committed by the Nazis in his book Auschwitz: The Nazis and the "Final Solution." The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler is a natural evolution of a twenty-year writing and research endeavor around the Third Reich and is an exceptionally penetrating study of the man, his personality, and his psychological makeup.
"As always, Laurence Rees asks the right questions and provides excellent answers. By combining historical documents with the oral testimonies of people who lived through the events firsthand, he sheds ample light on the phenomenon of Hitler's worship by millions of Germans, upon which his 'charismatic authority' was built." Ian Kershaw
"A fascinating study." Anthony Beevor
