Publisher Description
This is the fascinating account of how the violent events which befell Hitler between 1889 and 1924 influenced his personal life and formed the basis for his of his Weltenschaaung as set out in the pages of Mein Kampf.
Drawing extensively on Hitler’s own biographical account from Mein Kampf coupled with a wide range of primary sources, Emmy award winning author and historian Bob Carruthers illustrates how a series of violent events transformed Hitler’s view of the world and led directly to the Beer Hall Putsch of 1923.
Hitler’s difficult relationship with his violent father, his harsh experiences in Vienna and his involvement in the Great War conditioned Hitler to celebrate aggressive acts. By Hitler’s own account, his love of violence and complete disregard for the consequences of his actions was vindicated by a series of victories in fierce encounters involving beer hall brawls and street battles.

thought changing
It gave me a completely different look at what really happened and how people can be utterly swayed by the actions and oponions of other people wheather good or bad, it shows we all have the freedom of thought and decision, and we are the directors of our own destiny. It shows how a good young man can be turned into a hating monster on ideas and thought that service their own thoughts and agendes, NOT JUST A GOOD HISTORY LESSON ,BUT A GREAT BOOK ON HOW TO BE CAREFUL ON HOW AND WHAT WE THINK AND HOW WE ACT ON THEM !
