The Führer: Hitler's Rise to Power

By Konrad Heiden

Categories: Biographies & Memoirs, History

Konrad Heiden, a German journalist who reported on the Nazi movement from its early days in Munich, traces Adolf Hitler's rise from an obscure veteran of World War I to the head of the German state. First published in 1944, while Heiden was in exile, the book covers the party's growth, the failed Beer Hall Putsch and the political maneuvers of the early 1930s. Heiden emphasizes the propaganda, intrigue and miscalculations by Hitler's opponents that made the seizure of power possible.
