An evaluation of the strategies of Adolf Hitler in WWII. The author exposes his psychological make-up, his relationships, and his strengths and weaknesses. Hoyt discusses how Hitler's obsessions undermined his power, his crucial miscalculations and the Allies' failure to capitalise on them, and suggests that Germany's defeat was inevitable from 1942. He scrutinises the general's plot against Hitler and calls into question the Allies' pursuit of an unconditional surrender. This British edition contains a postscript not included in the US edition.
