Reviews
A fast-paced, anecdotal narrative covering both Hitler's rise to power and his conduct of the war by a prolific popular military author * Library Journal *
Hoyt provides fresh perspective on the Fuhrer as a World War II strategist.... [The author] covers a lot of ground with insight and intelligence that make his analyisis a genuine contribution to Hitlerian lore * Kirkus *
Quoting liberally from Hitler's speeches, writings, and private statements, Hoyt traces the Fuhrer's failing ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy. This swift narrative revolves largely around the reltionship between the nazi leader and his military staff, particularly the loss of confidence and finally the loss of loyalty on the part of key generals and admirals. * Publishers Weekly *
