Hitler's Rise to Power

The little-known and chilling story of Adolf Hitler's eight-year march to the pinnacle of German politics is a tale that has not been fully explored until now. On the night of January 30, 1933, Hitler stood at a spotlit window of the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, filled with joy and disbelief. After a difficult political journey filled with near-failures, he had finally achieved his goal of seizing power.

Renowned author Peter Ross Range delves into Hitler's rise to power from 1925 to 1933, focusing solely on this pivotal period. Through a narrative history, Range brings this era to life, illustrating Hitler's brushes with power, quests for revenge, relentless campaigning, and moments of triumph and defeat. This is the story of a high-school dropout who went from a failed coup to becoming the leader of Europe's largest country. It is a tale of personal growth, extravagant living, love affairs, and even suicide attempts.

Hitler's ascent was marked by his unyielding struggle for control over his movement, as he faced challenges, built alliances, quelled feuds, and eliminated his enemies. This culminated in the establishment of the Third Reich and the descent of the western world into darkness. Spanning Germany's recovery from World War I to a period of prosperity followed by crippling depression, Hitler's rise is one of the most significant and dramatic stories in world history.

From gloating triumphs to moments of humiliation, Hitler's journey to power is a riveting account of ambition, manipulation, and the consequences of unchecked power. This book sheds light on how a charismatic leader can sway a nation, and serves as a cautionary tale for future generations. Hitler's reign serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of unchecked authority and the importance of vigilance in protecting democracy.
