Description
"Dietrich's book is a searing condemnation of the regime that he had so assiduously served and, throughout, he is critical both of the German people and of himself. But his real fire is clearly reserved for the person of Hilter: a man ùnparalleled in history', a s̀chizophrenic... of unique intensity,' whose ìnhuman and instiable will shattered the edifice of contemporary life." -Roger Moorhouse --
Description
"Hitler was a demonic personality obsessed by racial delusions. Physical disease is not the explanation for the weird tensions in his mind and the sudden freaks of his will. If any medical term applies to his mental state at all; it would undoubtedly be m̀egalomania.' But he was in no sense mentally ill; rather he was mentally abnormal, a p̀erson who stood on the broad threshold between genius and madness. It is not the first time in world history that such a figure has come to the fore. --
Description
In mind and soul Hitler was a hybrid creature-double-faced. Ambivalence is often the concomitant of genius; inner stresses can strengthen the entire personality. But in Hitler the inner contradictions had got out of hand; the split in his nature had become the determinant of his whole being. For that reason his essential nature cannot be understood in simple and natural terms; It can be grasped only as a union of opposites." -Otto Dietrich --Book Jacket
