Description
In Hitler's Thirty Days to Power, distinguished Yale historian Henry Ashby Turner makes an important and influential addition to his life-long study of Nazi Germany. Providing vivid portraits of the main players of the drama of January 1933, and using newly available documents, Turner masterfully recreates the bewildering circumstances surrounding Hitler's unexpected appointment as chancellor of Germany. The result is a work that Booklist calls "first rate ...a gripping, foreboding narrative."

Description
A history of the fateful month that gave rise to the most destructive leader of the 20th-century. Henry Ashby Turner provides an account of the events that culminated in Adolf Hitler's taking power in January of 1933. He shows how luck, political intrigue, and the personal weaknesses of Hitler's more powerful, traditional conservative opponents paved the way to his Chancellorship. Turner also seeks to re-establish the importance of individual actors in the unfolding of historical events.
