  An exploration of the mind of Hitler's explainers and, through them, the mind of Hitler himself. Despite countless studies of his life, essential aspects of Hitler continue to escape explanation. This book looks at the historians, philosophers and theologians who have struggled to understand him. The author, Ron Rosenbaum, details face-to-face encounters with brilliant and controversial explainers like Hugh Trevor Roper, George Steiner, David Irving and Emile Frackenheim. He reveals what they tell us not only about Hitler but what they tell us about ourselves.
