Adolf Hitler: A Portrait - Hardcover

This is a radically different biography of Hitler, revealing aspects of his life that are either unknown or hardly known, based on original research in primary sources, analysed and narrated in a fresh, insightful style. It is the first book to explain convincingly the origins of Hitler's anti-Semitism, to demonstrate the crucial importance of art in Hitler's life and vision for the German people, and to reveal the truth about the 1939 assassination attempt on Hitler. It is a lucid and cogent analysis of the genesis of the Holocaust and a penetrating insight into the complex and twisted mind of Adolf Hitler.

Michael FitzGerald has an honours degree in philosophy, including political philosophy, and is the author of a work on psychic warfare in World War II, which has been described as "racy and readable", "extremely well-researched", "the standard work on the subject" and "a classic in the field". He has made a lifetime study of Hitler and German history between 1918 to 1945 and has given numerous talks to a variety of organisations. This is his first book published by Spellmount Publishers. He lives in London.
