Everybody should read this book. It gives a very different view on Hitler and as such undoubtedly more objective one than what we see in politically correct Hollywood movies which are only capable of displaying evil (because it sells). Obviously he was not a born tyrant or Jew hater (this in fact is confirmed by reputable historians). This book shows how he was seen by his colleaques. More importantly, it gives an excellent view on Hitler's thoughts which are often suprisingly humane and at-times brilliant. It also gives an alternative view to reasons that eventually lead to the second world war and why Germany was seen as such a threat. This book will change the way you see Hitler. It does not suffer from the post-war politically correct doctoring of many memoirs (except for the preamble written by Henry Ashby Turner Jr. as standard "disclaimer" by the publisher). Highly recommendable. Read it and enlarge your understanding of the world beyond the simple black-and-white version portrayed in the parrot media.

Anybody who wants to understand who Hitler really was should read this book. Still today people claim they do not know and do not understand the phenomenon, they should read this book to see the light. Hitler was nothing else than an ambitious tyran who lied, cheated and promised anything to get to supremer power. Gullible people like Wagner show you how the whole scam worked. Impressive.
This book was written from notes made in prison after the war by Otto Wagener who was until 1933 Hitler's main economic advisor along with Gregor Strasser.
