Hitler's Private Library - the books that shaped his life by Timothy W.Ryback
I don't believe this - but Hitler who is better known for burning people and books - was actually devouring one volume per night - and amassed a library collection of no less than 16000 volumes. And so, timothy W.Ryback for the first time, offers a systematic examination of all th books that shaped Hitler's life. The volumes in his library spring to life in this sparkling book - because of th exhaustive notes captured - those made by Hitler on the marginalia - the comments, the exclamation marks, the questions and underlinings, even the dirty thumbprints from the remains of the First World War - which are so revealing. Written with verve, the book gives us a superb view of Hitler's evolution - and unparalleled insights into his emotional and intellectual world. Must read, even if you have read Mein Kampf.
