For a compact book, this is an admirably comprehensive look at every aspect of Hitler's role as military commander of Germany's armed forces. Hitler rebuilt Germany from the ashes of a broken, humiliated and defeated nation, restricted in it's ability to even possess even an effective defensive military and yet, within the space of decade, had come withing an icy whisker of conquering the entire Eurasian land mass. Yet, in the end, he left Germany far more ruined and utterly destroyed than it had been at the end of the first world war. The author comes across as being scrupulously fair to his infamous subject. It is made clear that we are not looking at Hitler's appalling moral conduct, solely his record as a military leader. And this he soberly looks at from every possible angle, from Hitler's uncanny ability to cobble together military alliances in the lead up to war to his managing of the Wagnerian yet futile defence of Berlin in the final stages of the war. We even have a very illuminating chapter on young Adolf's (undeniably heroic) performance as a humble Corporal in the Great War, an experience that was to starkly shape his entire subsequent political and military outlook. |
