A fresh and stimulating look at Hitler's dictatorship through the study of ten key historical aspects; This comprehensive work of history is not a biography but represents an alternative to the wealth of cradle-to-grave biographies available on the market, and it takes a thematic approach rather than giving a chronological account; Concise and accessible, Hitler's Tyranny is written with the general reader in mind; Unlike many previous biographies of Hitler (Kershaw, Goldhagen etc.), where a 'sociological' approach portrays him as the apotheosis of a specifically German strain of militarism and imperialism, Hitler's Tyranny shifts the focus firmly back on to the mindset and actions of the dictator himself.
