Longman Hitler (Profiles in Power S.)
Is there anything fresh to be said about Hitler? He is an icon, maybe <I>the</I> icon, of the 20th century. He was a failed artist with Wagnerian fantasies, a slob who could not get up in the morning, but he exposed the frailties of modern civilisation in a way that should still make us giddy. How? Was it his doing, or German society's? <P> Professor Ian Kershaw has produced a work of definitive scholarship that will be the standard for years to come. It was badly needed; since Alan Bullock's 1952 classic <I>Hitler: A Study In Tyranny</I> and Joachim Fest's <I>Hitler</I> (originally published in 1973) there has been much valuable research, all of which Kershaw seems to have read (there are 200 pages of notes). Add to this the media (and, by extension, public) fascination with the nature of evil, and a resurgent interest in right-wing groups, and this book becomes long overdue. <P> Kershaw deals rigorously with the bones of his subject's life. He has no truck with psychological padding, and calmly demolishes most of the quasi-facts that have sprung up--if in doubt, he allows space within the chronology. His description of the path to the Chancellorship, which was always more messy than messianic, is painful to behold but gripping to follow, and concludes in 1936 with Hitler at the height of his Hubris. <P> This is an important study of the character of power, as clearly written as it is intellectually engaging. --<I>David Vincent</I>

Oxford Paperbacks The Hitler Myth: Image and Reality in the Third Reich
Before writing Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris the first volume of his substantial biography of Adolf Hitler, Ian Kershaw focused on the popular appeal of the Nazi dictator in <I>The Hitler Myth</I>. Arguing that the sources of Hitler's appeal must be sought...in those who adored him, rather than in the leader himself, Kershaw shows how Hitler's public image welded together antagonistic forces within the Nazi state, mobilised the nation for war, and contributed to the ethos that animated systematic and genocidal violence. <P> Responding to historians who maintain that Hitler's personality or ideological fixations accounted for his broad acceptance, Kershaw argues that, in the early 1930s a sizeable plurality of Germans hungered for an omnipotent Führer to stand above the political disharmonies of the Weimar state. Later, foriegn policy and military victories attracted many more to the Hitler legend. However, victories were the price for popularity; and Hitler became more and more bloodthirsty as both his image and regime foundered under the blows of the Allied powers. The Hitler myth, then--a cultural phenomenon the Reich Minister Joeseph Goebbels claimed as his greatest propaganda triumph--became a fundamental cause for the collapse of the Nazi State. <P> Kershaw's authoritative history of political culture in Hitler's Germany forcefully demonstrates that the Führer's popularity rested less on bizarre and arcane precepts of Nazi ideology, than on social and political values...recognisable in many societies other than the Third Reich. In our present political environment, which repeatedly features outcries for leadership from pundits and public servants alike, the disturbing lessons of <I>The Hitler Myth</I> are an urgent warning. --<I>James Highfill</I>

Penguin Books Ltd Hitler, 1936-1945: Nemesis (Allen Lane History S.)
George VI thought him a damnable villain and Neville Chamberlain found him not quite a gentleman, but to the rest of the world Adolf Hitler has come to personify modern evil to such an extent that his biographers have always faced an unenviable task. The two most renowned biographies of Hitler--by Joachim C Fest (<I>Hitler</I>) and by Alan Bullock (<I>Hitler: A Study in Tyranny</I>)--painted a picture of individual tyranny which, in the words of AJP Taylor, left Hitler guilty and every other German innocent. Decades of scholarship on German society under the Nazis now make that verdict unsafe, and so the modern biographer of Hitler must account both for his terrible mindset and his charismatic appeal. In the second and final volume of his mammoth biography of Hitler, covering the climax of Nazi power, the reclamation of German-speaking Europe, and the horrific unfolding of the final solution in Poland and Russia, Ian Kershaw manages to achieve both these tasks. Following on from <I>Hitler: Hubris 1889-1936</I> the epic <I>Hitler: Nemesis 1936-1945</I> takes the reader from the adulation and hysteria of Hitler's electoral victory in 1936 to the obsessive and remote bunker mentality which enveloped the Fuhrer as Operation Barbarossa (the attack on Russia in 1942) proved the beginning of the end. Chilling yet objective: a definitive work.--<I>Miles Taylor</I>

Macmillan Blood and Champagne: The Life of Robert Capa
It does seem to me that Capa has proved beyond all doubt that the camera need not be a cold mechanical device John Steinbeck wrote of photojournalist Robert Capa in a quote that launches <i>Blood and Champagne</i>, a well-written, exhaustively researched biography. Like the pen, it is as good as the man who uses it. It can be the extension of mind and heart. That's quite a compliment coming from an author of Steinbeck's calibre, but then Capa won the respect and friendship of some of the brightest talents of his generation; other admirers and poker buddies included Ernest Hemingway and John Huston, and among his many loves was actress Ingrid Bergman. Capa won fame slogging through the blood and grime to capture vivid images of five different wars, from the Spanish Civil War (where he wasn't above staging some of his photographs), through the landings at Omaha Beach on D-Day (which he chronicled for <I>Life</I> magazine as the only journalist to wade ashore with the first wave of G.I.s), to the early days of the Vietnam conflict (where he was killed in action at the age of 41 while covering the French army, soon to be replaced with disastrous results by the Americans). <p>Another great writer, John Hersey, famously dubbed the swarthy chain-smoking photographer the Man Who Invented Himself, and author Alex Kershaw contends that one of his greatest achievements was the legend that he created for himself. A California journalist who contributes to <I>The Guardian</I> and <I>The Sunday Times Magazine</I>, among others, Kershaw brings Capa and his times to life with bright, vivid writing and telling anecdotes, using a fascinating personal odyssey to put the man's professional accomplishments in to perspective. Capa was the first photographer to make photojournalism appear glamorous and sexy, he writes. Of course, that distinction and all others take a back seat to the photos themselves, and this book's only shortcoming is that it does not include any examples of the great man's work. <I>--Jim DeRogatis, Amazon.com</I>
