I gave this books three stars as it explained how Hitler obtained funds better than anything I've read to date, approximately 40 large tomes such as Allan Bullock's "Hitler, A Study in Tyranny." Also, the info on Hitler's family after 1923, Geli and Eva went into a bit more depth than other books. Otherwise I would have given it two stars.
"He realized that politics was the occupation of the man who had no occupation and does not want either."
Adolf Hitler was an idle man, whose interest in different forms of art ( i.e painting, architecture, & stage plays) afforded him with no steady income. As it is observed with egomaniac sons, he was the family's favorite bastard; also the opportunist awaiting to receive his share of inheritance to sustain his self-indulging lifestyle. His favorite hobby of doing monologues payed him very well in the future. His oration has captured the attention of Thule Society member Eckart, who became his mentor in his political career.
