It is tough to read the (fictional) self-justification of a person responsible for so much death and misery, and that is also what is remarkable about this book. The author makes Hitler’s mind intelligible.
Rather than picturing him as the monstrous, unknowable evil, a kind of inhuman boogeyman, as Hitler is often portrayed, the author has managed to create a believable inner narrative, that explains the behaviour of the world’s most infamous dictator.
And that is an important perspective. While Hitler may or may not have gone insane at the end, most of the vile evils carried out by him and his party were not acts of madness, but rather calculated, well-planned actions.
War and genocide were not invented by the nazis, they were just frightfully efficient at it. It has happened many times before, and if we do not learn from history, understand what drives people to such extremes, it will happen again and again. A good place to start would be this book. Highly recommended.… (més)
