The Women Who Knew Hitler: The Private Life of Adolf Hitler

Amidst the libraries of scholarship on the public deeds of Adolf Hitler, much of the private life of this thoroughly evil figure remains enigmatic. The Women Who Knew Hitler reveals a new dimension and insider's view of Hitler, whose love life, with all its complexities, inadequacies, and brutality, is posited as lying at the very core of the tormented dictator who murdered millions and nearly destroyed a continent. Accessing a multitude of sources, including surviving documents, eyewitness accounts, interrogation reports, even U.S. intelligence files and private papers revealed here for the first time, the authors reposition Hitler in a vivid, updated form for a new generation of historians and readers.
