Books by Konrad Heiden

Provides a detailed account of the growth of the movement through the 1920's until its assumption of full control of Germany in 1934. This title argues that Nazi ideology was extremely pragmatic and able to accommodate a wide diversity of opinion in return for the unconditional support of Hitler as leader.

In this eyewitness account of Hitler's rise to power, the author shows how the unsophisticated, but dangerously charismatic leader turned a volatile situation in Europe to his own advantage.
