Hitler A Global Biography by Brendan Simms
Brand: INGRAM PUBLISHER SERVICES US
Product Description
From a prizewinning historian the definitive biography of Adolph Hitler Hitler offers a deeply learned and radically revisionist biography arguing that the dictators main strategic enemy from the start of his political career in the 1920s was not communism or the Soviet Union but capitalism and the United States. Whereas most historians have argued that Hitler underestimated the American threat Simms shows that Hitler embarked on a preemptive war with the United States precisely because he considered it such a potent adversary. The war against the Jews was driven both by his anxiety about combatting the supposed forces of international plutocracy and by a broader desire to maintain the domestic cohesion he thought necessary for survival on the international scene. A powerfully argued and utterly definitive account of a murderous tyrant we thought we understood Hitler is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the origins and outcomes of the Second World War. show more
