{"product_id":"hitler-robin-cross-9781847249999","title":"Hitler","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs Chancellor of Germany between 1933 and 1945, Adolf Hitler exercised untrammeled power over his country's social, political and economic life. Hitler's belligerent re-armament program, his imposition of anti-Semitic legislation and his territorially aggressive policies led to genocide and worldwide conflict on an unprecedented scale. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the subject of numerous biographies and fictional portrayals, there have hitherto been few succinct, factual narratives of Hitler's life. Hitler is a short chronicle of the Fuehrer's career, amplified with reproductions of numerous posters and artifacts, and accompanied by generously captioned and stunning images of the period as well as a DVD featuring 45 minutes of remarkable archive footage from the Nazi era. Second World War expert Robin Cross offers a clear outline of Hitler's career: from his unhappy childhood as the son of a minor Austrian official in Braunau, to his inglorious early occupation as a Viennese house painter; from his formative experiences as a corporal in the First World War, to his emergence as leader of the National Socialist Workers' Party in the 1920s; from his extraordinary rise to supreme power in 1933, to his suicide amidst the ruins of Berlin in 1945. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCommanding, informative and sumptuous, and written by a scholar who is steeped in knowledge of the period, Hitler is an essential companion for anyone with a fascination for the 20th century, the Second World War or the age of dictators.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robin Cross","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":46143113003251,"sku":"8880002692852","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9781847249999.jpg?v=1724964470","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/hitler-robin-cross-9781847249999","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
