Artist, soldier, politician, madman? We know the headlines, we know about the atrocities, but what do we really know of the man at the heart of it all? 'Hitler' looks behind the image of the dictator and explores his childhood, his military service during World War I, his artistic aspirations, the formation of his political and religious views, his troubled love life, his rise to power and his life as dictator. Expertly written and illustrated with 180 colour and black and white photographs, paintings and artworks, 'Hitler' tells the inside story behind the man whose actions may appall us, but continue to fascinate us.
