Explaining Hitler. Ten Famous Scholars Debate the Issues (Sometimes with heated words)

Send us Fan MailRon Rosenbaum published a book in 1998 discussing how 13 major scholars (and a score of lesser scholars) explained Hitler.  Who was Hitler?  Was he a charlatan just using Jew-hatred to rise to power?  Was he the personification of Evil?  Was he a Christian saint avenging the crucifixion of Christ?  Was he just a victim of German culture?  Did he slide into mass murder as events evolved, or had he planned the Holocaust as early as 1918?  And should we even discuss these issues? This book captured my imagination.  Each of these scholars was uniquely interesting.  I think it will capture your imagination also.
