Review title: If it was only possible to give no stars . . .
Product review: this book would be a candidate. Waite's book is one of the reasons that psychohistory remains, undeservedly, on the fringes of the academic community. No, I'm not an academic, so please don't think I'm looking down on Waite's effort from that perspective. But even the most cursory reading of the literature about Hitler makes clear that Waite has taken only the most sensational, and almost totally unreliable, information that he could dredge up, and then molded it into an "analysis" of Hitler designed to sell books. It is sad to see the selective use of materials to produce a book like this. For those interested in a sober, exceptionally researched book on Hitler, which also happens to be very well written, Ian Kershaw's Hitler biography, "Hubris", is the perfect antidote to Waite's extremely flawed book
