Although much has been written about Adolf Hitler, he remains a creature of legend, myth, and misconception....Only in recent years have those who knew Hitler personally been willing or able to talk freely about him. John Toland has based this monumental biography on extensive research, involving a number of previously unknown or unavailable sources, and including over one hundred and fifty taped interviews with people directly involved in Hitler's private and public life.
