Housden M. Hitler. Study of a Revolutionary? (2000)

Routledge Chapman & Hall, 2000. — 220 s.Adolf Hitler is perceived to be the most evil political leader of twentieth-century Europe. By presenting a critical selection of primary source material this book examines Hitler's background and involvement in the rise of National Socialism, the government of the Third Reich, leadership of the Second World War in Germany and his psychology, to discuss Hitler's credentials as a revolutionary.
This volume includes examination of:
* the general characteristics of revolutions and revolutionaries
* Hitler as agitator, dictator, deceiver and warlord
* Hitler's architectural and artistic ambitions
* Hitler's mind and personality.
Hitler investigates what it was that motivated this national leader to commit such monstrosities which still cast a shadow over Europe today.В книге изложена попытка соотношения понятий "революция" и "национал-социалистическая революция" (который использовали сами нацисты) на примере биографии и стиля руководства А. Гитлера. Указанное сравнение имеет право на существование, однако требует и существенной коррекции. Гитлер для автора - отличная возможность точнее описать общие черты тоталитарного человека.
