From the rear cover

Hitler attained power in 1933 as the result of a complex set of factors, including the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I; the German's lack of faith in democracy and the reasons behind it; the corruption and mismanagement that characterized the Weimar Republic, as democratic Germany was called; the hyperinflation of the early 1920s, during which the German currency lost 99.3% of its value in just 12 weeks and the cost of eggs soared to 80 billion marks each; the Great Depression, during which nearly a quarter of the German work force was unemployed; the political and economic instability of the times, in which the Nazis thrived; and the evil genius of Adolf Hitler, master politician. Why Hitler? transports the reader back to the Germany of the 1920s and 1930s, to a time when a country and a civilization began its apocalyptic descent.
