His exploits and every move are well-documented, from the time he first became chancellor and then dictator of Germany to starting World War II to the systematic killing of millions of Jews. But how did he achieve power, and what was the makeup of the mind of a man who would deliberately inflict unimaginable horrors on millions of people? Meet Friedrich Richard, an amnesiac soldier who, in 1918, encounters Hitler in the mental ward at Pasewalk Hospital. Hitler, then a corporal, diagnosed as a psychopath and helpless, suffering from hysterical blindness, introduces himself as Wolf to Friedrich and becomes dependent upon Friedrich for assistance, forming an unbreakable bond between the two men. Follow Friedich--our protagonist--who interacts with real people, places, and events, through the fifteen-year friendship that witnesses Hitler turn from a quiet painter into a megalomaniacal dictator. Using brand-new historical research to construct a realistic portrait of the evolving Hitler, Wolf will satisfy, by turns, history buffs and fiction fans alike. And as this complex story is masterfully presented, it answers the question of how a nondescript man became the world's greatest monster"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20200304. 600 1 $a Hitler, Adolf $d 1889-1945 $x Friends and associates $v Fiction. 600 1 $a Hitler, Adolf $d 1889-1945 $x Psychology $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Dictators $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Germany $x History $y 1933-1945 $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Biographical fiction. 700 $a Winter, Alan A.,. 710 $a Stern, Herbert Jay, 1936-, $d New York, NY : Skyhorse Publishing, [2020]. 941 $a 4 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060157.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20201208011631.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20200805012357.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20200508024105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE81274290F111EA86A69E4897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
