Was Hitler ''the greatest strategic genius of all time'' as Nazi propaganda had it, or just an amateur?

Why was the startling success of his campaigns in Poland and France followed by the blundering mistakes in Russia, North Africa and France? Might Germany even have won the war without Hitler''s continual and disastrous interference?

In this extraordinary history, John Strawson answers these and other questions by showing how Hitler''s insatiable preoccupation with war and conquest was translated into reality. While the power of a revitalized German army came from Hitler, Strawson examines the Fuhrer''s eccentric use of the most formidable war machine the world had ever seen.

This lucid story of fire and incompetence is brought alive by the accounts of those who served Hitler both on his staff and as field commanders. Perfect for readers of Ian Kershaw and Anthony Beevor.
