Title: The human side of Hitler?
Review: A gifted writer and historian, Mr. Lukacs writes a thought provoking differing view of Hitler then is untypical of most books about Hitler. Gone is the rug chewing, temper tantrum throwing, maniac I was used to reading about, and in his place, a cold, calculating, revolutionary Hitler emerges, who frets and worries, makes right and wrong moves, and is good at reading everyone but himself and Churchill. The portrait of Churchill is more conventional with Churchill being the great wordsmith and indomitable soul of Great Britain.A caution should be added: bone up on your vocabulary or have a good dictionary within easy reach when reading this book. The author is erudite and a master of his subject matter but it is ,at times, a bit difficult to read.
