Young Hitler by Paul Ham MOBI



Hitler remains one of the most fascinating figures in history - and one of the most evil. But what created and shaped this monstrous man, and his extremist views?



Paul Ham’s concise biography looks into Hitler’s childhood and the years leading up to his move into politics to see what key events turned one young boy into an infamous dictator.



Desperate to prove himself as an artist, and after the death of his beloved mother, Hitler spent many of his early years living hand-to-mouth on the streets of Vienna, and feverishly consuming the daily newspapers.



That is, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914 when Hitler quickly volunteered to fight.



Hitler saw the war, and human sacrifice, as the last act of ‘the fittest’ in the great drama of the human race. War would determine the inheritors of the earth.



This short biography of young Hitler seeks to answer, and to offer a fresh perspective on, a few often-asked questions: To what extent did the First World War ‘make’ Hitler? How would Hitler use his war record to further his political career? How far did Hitler’s experience as a dispatch runner wrench an already disturbed mind in the direction of a violent programme of revenge, culminating in mass murder?



'Young Hitler' is a fascinating insight into the man who came to personify evil.



Paul Ham’s military histories have been widely praised.
