Books: The Hitler of History, Wellington in Wellington, Wellington for sale

Since 1945 there have been over a hundred biographies of Hitler. What happens when so many people reinterpret the life of a single individual? Does Hitler emerge as a mythic anti-hero whose crimes and errors blur behind an aura of power and conquest? By making Hitler's biographers - rather than Hitler himself - the subject of inquiry, Lukacs reveals the contradictions that take us back to the true Hitler of history. By examining those - like the controversial historian David Irving - who have been involved in a rehabilitation'of Hitler, Lukacs draws powerful conclusions about Hitler's differences from other monsters of history, such as Napoleon, Mussolini and the NEW YORK TIMES said of this book:'Surprising, even shocking. Mr Lukacs arrives at [his conclusions] with painstaking, exhaustive logic that is hard to resist.'320 pages
