5.0 out of 5 stars An Absorbing, Important Book, 22 Jun 1998
By A Customer
Waite strips Adolf Hitler down to the core, revealing in his childhood explanations for not only why Hitler was who he was, but also revealing in general the reasons the German volk followed him down the fiery path of the Holocaust. His fascinating analysis of the routine and horrifying abuse that passed for normal child-rearing methods in middle European countries tears away the the curtain that has shrouded the motivations of Hitler and his countrymen, and makes it clear that the Holocaust was not an abberation in Germany--it was an inevitability. Read this with Alice Miller's "For Your Own Good" and Wolff's "Child Abuse in Freud's Vienna," and you'll get the picture.

4.0 out of 5 stars a wonderful psychological study, a + historical background, 23 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I was assigned this book for a class that dealt soley with Nazi-era Germany. It provided an eerie, but enveloping story of this all-too-human demi-god. There are certain aspects of his life that the author revealed here that I don't think I have ever heard or read anywhere else. Starting with his relationship with his mother and rounding out with his disturbing relationhip with Eva. This is a superb study which picks apart the charateristics of Hitler's demented mind.

1.0 out of 5 stars An interesting fiction at best., 5 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This is the by-product of a psycological profile of Hitler done for the Allies during WWII. Waite interviewed Germans who were in Canadian and American prisons. Hoping to be released if they cooperated, they gave Waite what he wanted, fanciful tales that made Hitler sound like a absolute lunatic. The whole book is a farce and should be read as such. It's current popularity is due to the fact that it allows people to explain Hitler as a monster who was an anomaly that can never happen again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Professor R.G.L. Waite should learn to stick to history.
It is not my intention to denigrate the talents of the historian Dr. Waite, but he should have learned a long time ago to leave Psychoanalysis to the Freudians. Read more
