Hitler's Private Library: The Books That Shaped His Life

A Washington Post Notable Book
Â
With a new chapter on eugenicist Madison Grantâ€™s The Passing of the Great Race

In this brilliant and original exploration of some of the formative influences in Adolf Hitlerâ€™s life, Timothy Ryback examines the books that shaped the man and his thinking.

Hitler was better known for burning books than collecting them but, as Ryback vividly shows us, books were Hitlerâ€™s constant companions throughout his life. They accompanied him from his years as a frontline corporal during the First World War to his final days before his suicide in Berlin. With remarkable attention to detail, Ryback examines the surviving volumes from Hitlerâ€™s private book collection, revealing the ideas and obsessions that occupied Hitler in his most private hours and the consequences they had for our world.

A feat of scholarly detective work, and a captivating biographical portrait, Hitlerâ€™s Private Library is one of the most intimate and chilling works on Hitler yet written.
