the Beer Hall Putsch and the Rise of Nazi Germany
Aug 25, 2017AQUILEA777 rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Detailed account of Hitler's failed 1923 putsch and his subsequent trial for treason. Explains how he turned a fiasco that should have ended his career into a demagogic triumph that magnified his importance and set him on the road to supreme power. In this narrative, the putsch seems hopeless and laughable. But the description of the trial and its aftermath shows that Hitler's support was already dangerously widespread.
