5.0 out of 5 stars mind your Ps and Qs, 13 Feb 2002
By A Customer
I think it was Norman Mailer who said that dictators are, almost without exception, plain and boring little men. From these transcriptions of Hitler's dinner conversations (if we are to believe that is actually what they are) we see the rule being proved yet again. If excitement is what you crave seek out a book on Oscar Wilde's dinner conversation, he used to talk for his supper. If you buy this book you are getting a definite guide on how to be a bad host.

As a curiosity it allows insight into the mind of one of histories most terrifyingly figures. But you are forced to wonder to what extent even this is a performance, after all he was hardly dining with ordinary people.

I would imagine that the table talk of most world leaders today would resemble that portrayed in the book. What is macabre though is the sense of decadence when these conversations are placed in the historical context of the then ensuing war and the murder of millions of civilians casually remarked upon (or not) or pronounced upon in a very detached manner. Hardly a fitting subject for the dinner table.

There have been many murderous dictators and regimes in the last hundred years, I would imagine that conversations like these were conducted around all of their respective dinner tables, combining belligerent justification with showing off. I expect dinner at the White House isn't too different.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wide ranging and often erudite, 26 Jun 2004
By ianrmillard - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Hitler's Table Talk: His Private Conversations, 1941-44 (Paperback)
'Hitler's Table Talk', long unavailable (I have an old edition from about 1960) shows Adolf Hitler as a long way indeed from the staring-eyed "demonic" caricature. His education (self-made via wide reading) comes out as being quite comprehensive, although he obviously has interests which, although banal seeming today (e.g. the danger that car traffic poses to small children playing in the road), show a concern for people which propaganda a la Spielberg has attempted to expunge from what we call "history": if the disregard for truth of spielberg and his kind be doubted, look at "U-571" which was captured (in fact) by the British, but (in spielberg's film) by Americans.
Hitler's world was one shaped by a self-educated classicist taste (as distinct from the Germanism of Himmler, for example). The fact is that zionist interests and the self-justification of the duped British and others have conspired (figuratively or actually) to present a two-dimensional view of Hitler (shown as either the inhuman "tool of evil powers" or a kind of madman in the Freudian-Adlerian mould, prey to various dark urges and perversions used to discredit his mind and work).
Read this book and then compare to such as drunken Churchill and half-educated Stalin (or the absurdly narrow and obsessional Lenin), let alone the pygmies of the present scene (Tony Blair, George W. Bush et al) and we see quite easily which is the greater mind and the greater human being.
