The Psychopathic God: Adolph Hitler - Paperback

by Robert Waite (Author)

"A triumph--a wonderful mixture of psychological perception and good sense. . . . Even though a thousand books are written on Hitler, this will long remain the best."--H. Stuart Hughes

The Psychopathic God is the definitive psychological portrait of Adolph Hitler. By documenting accounts of his behavior, beliefs, tastes, fears, and compulsions, Robert Waite sheds new light on this complex figure. But Waite's ultimate aim is to explain how Hitler's psychopathology changed German--and world--history. With The Psychopathic God we can begin to understand Hitler as never before.
