Hitler

Hitler is a collection of two volumes by Volker Ullrich. Jefferson Chase translated both volumes into English. The books were originally published in German by S. Fischer Verlag. The first volume Hitler: Ascent, 1889-1939, published in German in 2013, was published in English in 2016 by The Bodley Head and covers up to 1939. The second volume Hitler Vol II: Downfall 1939-45 was published in English in 2020 by the same English publisher and covers the remainder of his biography. Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times wrote that Volume I "offers a fascinating Shakespearean parable" regarding Adolf Hitler's rise to power and highlights how Hitler advanced his political career through "demagoguery, showmanship and nativist appeals to the masses." She stated that "there is little here that is substantially new".
