I give this 2 stars only for its historical information of Hitler himself. Most of which you can get from anyother book. I thought that this book barely started to unfold the history of Geli and Hitler. It's main focus was on Hitler with what seemed to be a few side thoughts about a realationship that was said to be the most meaningful in Hitler's life. It raised many questions and did not offer many answers. There are a few conflicts with previously written accounts of Hitler's sexual life. This relationship was surrounded by mystery and will continue to be surrounded by mystery when you are done reading.

Some people would criticize this book for not being the historical end all analysis of Hitler's relationship with his niece. I don't feel that's important. No one should base their opinions off of one book. This is just one of the many you should read on the subject. Ronald Hayman takes an approach that many others haven't by concluding that Hitler's abnormal relationship with his niece may have spawned the genocidal impulses latent within him. That's one man's opinion. And it's an enjoyable one to read as the author is very articulate. But don't leave your research here. Continue on. Others have written on the subject (who are just as biased as the sources Hayman uses). One must find their own opinion of what's out there and to do so you'll need to read this book.
