They were high~value targets. And the NKVD, the forerunners of the KGB, needed them for a very special project: They had been instructed to compile a biography of Adolf Hitler. Stalin had never been able to shake off the nightmare of Adolf Hitler. Just as in 1941 he refused to understand that Hitler had broken their non~aggression pact, he was, in 1945, unwilling to believe that the dictator had committed suicide amidst the charred debris of the Berlin bunker. Perhaps he was still alive, waiting to launch another surprise attack. In his paranoia, Stalin ordered his secret police, the NKVD, to explore in detail every last vestige of the private life of the only man he considered a worthy opponent, and to clarify bevond doubt the circumstances of his death. For months the two Germans were interrogated daily, their stories cross~checked, until the NKVD agents were convinced that they had the fullest possible account of the life of Adolf Hitler. The book that they compiled is remarkable for two particular qualities. It is extremely intimate in its portrait of the Fuhrer, from his specific directions to Linge as to how his body was to be burned beyond recognition, to his sense of humour. And it is almost as revealing, often by what it does not say, about the intended reader: Josef Stalin. Nowhere, for instance, does the dossier criticize Hitler's treatment of the Jews. Hitler and Stalin: If there is any pattern to be imposed on the twentieth century, then it must lie in the mutual antagonism of these two dictators, who, between them, wrought devastation on the European continent. This compelling, first~hand narrative of a decade of service in Hitler's headquarters, was presented to Stalin in a limited edition of one, and for over fifty years was kept under lock and key in a Russian archive. Never before published in its entirety, it is groundbreaking not only as one of the most authentic sources of information on the Third Reich and its innermost circles, but also as a portrait of a tyrant, for a tyrant.

Just as in 1941 he refused to understand that Hitler had broken their non-aggression pact, he was in 1945 unwilling to believe that the dictator had committed suicide in the debris of the Berlin bunker. In his paranoia, Stalin ordered his secret police, the NKVD, precursor to the KGB, to explore in detail every last vestige of the private life of the only man he considered a worthy opponent, and to clarify beyond doubt the circumstances of his death. For months two captives of the Soviet Army--Otto Guensche, Hitler's adjutant, and Heinz Linge, his personal valet--were interrogated daily, their stories crosschecked, until the NKVD were convinced that they had the fullest possible account of the life of the Führer. In 1949 they presented their work, in a single copy, to Stalin. It is as remarkable for the depth of its insight into Adolf Hitler--from his specific directions to Linge as to how his body was to be burned, to his sense of humor--as for what it does not say, reflecting the prejudices of the intended reader: Joseph Stalin. Nowhere, for instance, does the dossier criticize Hitler's treatment of the Jews. Today, the 413-page original of Stalin's personal biography of Hitler is a Kremlin treasure and it is said to be held in President Putin's safe. The only other copy, made by order of Stalin's successor, Nikita Khrushchev, in 1959, was deposited in Moscow Party archives under the code number 462A. It was there that Henrik Eberle and Matthias Uhl, two German historians, found it. Available to the public in full for the first time, The Hitler Book presents a captivating, astonishing, and deeply revealing portrait of Hitler, Stalin, and the mutual antagonism of these two dictators, who between them wrought devastation on the European continent. / Henrik Eberle, a freelance journalist and historian, completed his PhD dissertation in 2002 on the scientific policies of National Socialism. He currently teaches history at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg. Matthias Uhl received his PhD in 2000 in East European History at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.

Cloth/Laminated Boards. Condition: New. Type: Book Kai Nielsen has been the towering figure of Canadian philosophy over the last forty years. In this discussion and appreciation of Nielsen's work, highly respected specialists in the philosophy of religion, philosophical methodology (or metaphilosophy), and moral and political philosophy consider various aspects of his voluminous contributions and, at the same time, provide broad access to current philosophical debates. The volume contains not only twenty original papers on Nielsen's thought, but also his detailed responses to these critical essays. Among the outstanding contributors are Antony Kenny (philosophy and religion), Richard Rorty(methodology/metaphilosophy), Steven Lukes (Marxism), Norman Daniels (global justice), and Kok Chor Tan (nationalism). Despite the wide variety of these themes, Nielsen's body of work and his responses here show that it is possible to develop a systematic approach that links difference areas of philosophy within one perspective. This stimulating collection will thus attract readers in many different specialities. 431pp.
