Synopsis "Young Hitler: The Making of the Führer"
When Adolf Hitler went to war in 1914, he was just twenty-five years old. It was a time he would later call the "most stupendous experience of my life."That war ended with Hitler in a hospital bed, temporarily blinded by mustard gas. The world he eventually opened his newly healed eyes to was new and it was terrible: Germany had been defeated, the Kaiser had fled, and the army had been resolutely humbled.Hitler never accepted these facts. Out of his fury rose a white-hot hatred, an unquenchable thirst for revenge against the "criminals" who had signed the armistice, the socialists he accused of stabbing the army in the back, and, most violently, the Jews--a direct threat to the master race of his imagination--on whose shoulders he would pile all of Germany's woes.By peeling back the layers of Hitler's childhood, his war record, and his early political career, Paul Ham's Young Hitler: The Making of the Führer seeks the man behind the myth. More broadly, Paul Ham seeks to answer the question: Was Hitler's rise to power an extreme example of a recurring type of demagogue--a politician who will do and say anything to seize power; who thrives on chaos; and who personifies, in his words and in his actions, the darkest prejudices of humankind?
