Someone Hitler. Politics of crime

"Anmerkungen zu Hitler" ("Notes on Hitler") by the German historian Sebastian Hafner (1907-1999) is an analytical commentary on his best-selling fiction book "The Story of a German" (1939), written forty years later (1978). And today - another forty years later - this clear and deep study of the phenomenon of the political monster has all the qualities of an unconditional "mastrid". No wonder the historian and political scientist Golo Mann (son of Thomas Mann) called for studying “Anmerkungen zu Hitler” in high school. Understanding how and why “someone”, flesh and blood of the crowd, can become a popular politician and lead the crowd to a crime, takes on special value in our time, which provides limitless technological possibilities for transforming personal psychosis into mass psychosis. 3rd edition.
