‘Mr Haffner … has exposed better, and more briefly, than anyone else the clockwork of that infernal machine’ SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

‘What makes Haffner’s book different is that it is not one more biography but an analysis – a most penetrating analysis – of what Hitler was up to in his astonishing career’ A.L. Rowse

A quite dazzlingly brilliant analysis of what [Hitler] was
A stimulating book, brilliant and rich in ideas; in short a masterpiece of historical essay writing
Mr Haffner ... has exposed better, and more briefly, than anyone else the clockwork of that infernal machine
A most penetrating analysis - of what Hitler was up to in his astonishing career
Tough-minded evaluation of Hitler's career ... That this book was a best-seller in Germany [43 weeks] indicates that Haffner's countrymen welcomed this compact, lucid, hard-headed re-examination of contemporary history
An intelligent, wholly original and very enlightening book ... clear, informative and provocative
