3.0 out of 5 stars
Standard fare, nothing new,
By Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adolf Hitler (Heinemann Profiles) (Library Binding)
There is nothing new or earth-shattering here and any marginal student of Hitler will know everything between the pages of this book already. The photographic selection is also weak, the maps non-existent. However, there is some merit here: the author writes reasonably well and doesn't fall into the insidious "Freudian trap" of putting Hitler on the couch, or believing everything in the OSS reports from World War II. Thus Tames eschews, thankfully, the "carpet chewing" caricature of Hitler and instead relies on a more steady, sober viewpoint: he was a psychopath but appeared amazingly normal to his hapless entourage. He was neither a sexual pervert, a syphillis-infected lunatic or a homosexual voyeur. Actually, Hitler's private life was the most banal and pedestrian thing about him.To sum up, if you're a long-standing student of the Fuehrer, you would know everyting in the book. But for a beginner, this has some limited merit.
