About this book
An acclaimed historian of twentieth century Germany provides a vivid account of Hitler's rise to power and its intimate connection to the Bavarian capital.
The immediate aftermath of the Great War and the Versailles Treaty created a perfect storm of economic, social, political and cultural factors which facilitated the rapid rise of Adolf Hitler's political career and the birth of the National Socialist German Worker's Party. The breeding ground for this world-changing evolution was the city of Munich. In Hitler's Munich, renowned historian David Ian Hall examines the origins and growth of Hitler's National Socialism through the lens of this unique city.
By connecting the sites where Hitler and his accomplices built the movement, Hall offers a clear and concrete understanding of the causes, background, motivation, and structures of the Party. Hitler's Munich is a cultural and political portrait of the city, a biography of the Fuhrer, and a history of National Socialism. All three interacted in this expertly rendered exploration of their interconnections and significance.
