New York: Vintage Books, 1998. 6th Printing. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5x0x7. Sixth printing. Remainder mark, book slightly bowed. 1998 Trade Paperback. xiv, 279 pp. Since 1945 there have been more than one hundred biographies of Hitler, and countless other books on him and the Third Reich. What happens when so many people reinterpret the life of a single individual' Dangerously, the cumulative portrait that begins to emerge can suggest the face of a mythic antihero whose crimes and errors blur behind an aura of power and conquest. By reversing the process, 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.
