History, European history
Human-narrated audio
Summary
This book examines the nature and mechanics of Hitler's power and how he used it. The embodiment of wide social expectations and resentments, his was a "charismatic" rule, with legality and rationality in government undermined by the will to work… towards his presumed intentions. His power came largely from collaboration, miscalculation, tolerance and weakness by those with positions of responsibility, and was extended by their later capitulations. 1991.
