He was one of the most important men of the 20th century: Adolf Hitlerself-made man, artist, leader, politician, warlord and mass murderer.He was also misunderstood, vilified as an unconscionable monster by those who did not care to investigate his background, nor his ultimate motives.This biography discusses Hitler's life from early childhood, through his days living in a homeless shelter while trying to make a living by selling his paintings, to a man who successfully led the world's greatest fighting machine, the Wehrmacht, to unprecedented success.It also does not leave out details of his responsibility for atrocities committed in his name, and ends only where he did: at the conclusion of the war, in the Fuhrerbunker in Berlin
