Beschreibung

A very scarce first English edition of this important biography on Hitler, a critical view on the dictator published at a time when such works were still unusual. The first English edition of this work. The work was published in German in Zurich in 1935.A very scarce work.In the original price-clipped very scarce dustwrapper. It's very unusual to see the dustwrapper, which is normally present in replica form.Konrad Heiden's fascinating biography on the rise of Adolf Hitler.Heiden was an early critic of the rise of Nazism, after he attended a party meeting in Munich in 1921. When the Nazis took power of Germany in January 1933, Heiden escaped the country, and spent the rest of his life living abroad. In 1937, his German citizenship was withdrawn.This biography is incredibly unique, being a critical view of Hitler during his hold on the power of Germany, three years after he was elected Chancellor. Critical works of Hitler were rare at this time, before the outbreak of the Second World War, and before his views were widely known.Translated into English.Volume I only, with a second volume being translated into English the following year.
