I have never dreamed about Hitler....I've dreamed about the fate of my rugby team, but never about Hitler.
-Ian Kershaw, New York Times
Masterly...Kershaw is able to clarify, perhaps better than any biographer who preceded him, what made Hitler's dictatorial power possible.
-Walter Reich, New York Times Book Review
The historian's duty, superbly discharged by Kershaw, is to analyze how and why Hitler was able to ignite a world war, commit the most heinous crime in history, and throw his country into the abyss of total destruction.
-Gilbert Taylor, Booklist
