Hitler among the Germans

Combines individual and mass psychohistory in an exploration of the personal and national psychological determinants of Hitler's rise and fall and of Hitler's success in identifying German national trauma with his own

"Binion's Hitler among the Germans towers above the mass of Hitler books. With breathtaking precision, it contributes not just new biographic information, but above all a compelling explanation of Hitler's personal development. It is by far the most brilliant psychohistorical contribution to Hitler research."—Eberhard Jäckel

"This book is a tour de force—both a highly original work of historical reconstruction and an exact and authoritative statement defining and elucidating the nature of psychohistorical scholarship. Among contemporary psychohistorians, Binion stands quite alone, and I think that whatever stature this particular historiographical orientation has attained (and will attain) is due in no small measure to him."—C.M. Kimmich
