Hitler's Private Library: The Books that Shaped his Life Book

Adolf Hitler was better known for burning books than collecting them and yet by the time he died, aged 56, he owned an estimated 16,000 volumes - the works of historians, poets, playwrights and novelists. This title explores this remarkable collection, as well as several other caches which he subsequently discovered in Europe and elsewhere.Read More

    He was, of course, a man better known for burning books than collecting them and yet by the time he died, aged 56, Adolf Hitler owned an estimated 16,000 volumes - the works of historians, philosophers, poets, playwrights and novelists. For the first time, Timothy W. Ryback offers a systematic examination of this remarkable collection. The volumes in Hitler's library are fascinating in themselves but it is the marginalia - the comments, the exclamation marks, the questions and underlinings - even the dirty thumbprints on the pages of a book he read in the trenches of the First World War - which are so revealing. Hitler's Private Library provides us with a remarkable view of Hitler's evolution - and unparalleled insights into his emotional and intellectual world. Utterly compelling, it is also a landmark in our understanding of the Third Reich.
