About this ebook
This biography delves into the fateful year of Hitler's imprisonment, in which he wrote the manifesto that would propel him to power.
Before his terrible rise to power on the world stage, Adolf Hitler was convicted of treason for organizing the failed Beer Hall Putsch of 1923. He spent much of the following year in prison. This was the time of his final transformation into the self-proclaimed savior and infallible leader who would interpret and distort Germany's historical traditions to support his vision for the Third Reich.
Everything that would come—the rallies and riots, the single-minded deployment of a catastrophically evil idea—all of it crystallized in the year 1924. It was a year of deep reading and intensive writing, a year of courtroom speeches and a sensational trial that made him a national figure, a year of working feverishly on the book that became his manifesto: Mein Kampf.
In 1924, historian Peter Ross Range explores this single and pivotal period of Hitler's life. He richly depicts the stories and scenes of a year vital to understanding the man and the brutality he wrought in a war that changed the world.
