One of the most intriguing mysteries about history's most despised dictator is how utterly ordinary he once seemed. A chubby child, a mummy's boy, a failed artist—early images of Adolf Hitler reveal no hint of the demonic spirit that would later consume him. This book aims to trace the dramatic metamorphosis of Hitler through photographs, some iconic and others rare and intimate, illustrating the life of a man whose destructive legacy still impacts us today. The images, many from the author's own historic collection, showcase the mesmerizing power Hitler wielded over the German public, statesmen, industrialists, and global media. Captions for many original photographs are reverential, reflecting the admiration for Herr Hitler, the German Chancellor, who was named Time magazine's 1938 Man of the Year. The fascination with the cataclysmic events he instigated, involving 61 countries and over 50 million deaths, remains strong. The mystery of how one man could exert such power to plunge the world into war remains unanswered. However, the subtly changing images of Hitler—from pampered baby to bar-room rabble-rouser to ranting megalomaniac—offer graphic insight into the mind of a monster and the instigator of history's bloodiest conflict.
