Without in any way glorifying its subject, this unique revision of the historical Hitler brings us closer to understanding a pivotal personality of the twentieth century.

Victor's book is the first to show that implementing the Final Solution was actually the root of Hitler's most disastrous military decisions.

An extraordinary expedition into the war zone of Hitler theories.

Explores the life of Hitler, from his desolate childhood to his success as a politician.

A chilling, fascinating, and nearly forgotten historical figure is resurrected in this riveting work that links the fascism of the last century with the terrorism of our own. Written with vigor and extraordinary access to primary sources in several languages, Icon of Evil is the definitive account of the man who, during World War II, was called "the fuhrer of the Arab world" and whose ugly legacy lives on today. With new and disturbing details, David G. Dalin and John F. Rothmann show how al -Husseini ingratiated himself with his hero, Adolf Hitler, becoming, with his blond hair and blue eyes, an "honorary Aryan" while dreaming of being installed as Nazi leader of the Middle East. Al-Husseini would later recruit more than 100,000 Muslims in Europe to fight in divisions of the Waffen- SS, and obstruct negotiations with the Allies that might have allowed four thousand Jewish children to escape to Palestine. Some believe that al-Husseini even inspired Hitler to implement the Final Solution. At war's end, al-Husseini escaped indictment at Nuremberg and was harbored in France. Icon of Evil chronicles al-Husseini's postwar relationships with such influential Islamic figures as the radical theoretician Sayyid Qutb and Saddam Hussein's powerful uncle General Khairallah Talfah and his crucial mentoring of the young Yasser Ararat. Finally, it provides compelling evidence that al-Husseini's actions and writings serve as inspirations today to the leaders of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations pledged to destroy Israel and the United States.

HITLER: A Biography of Evil: The Life and Times of the Most Evil Man in History, Adolf Hitler "On July 22 1944 a group of German generals including Claus von Stauffenburg and Ludwig Beck initiated a plot to kill Hitler and take over the government. Stauffenburg visited Wolf's Lair, the Fuhrer's HQ in East Prussia and left a briefcase containing a bomb. The bomb was set to explode with Hitler and a number of top-ranking generals present. Stauffenburg and his allies were alarmed that Hitler had taken personal day to day command of military operations. He was making serious mistakes and errors of judgement. The Russians were retaking their soil and would soon be at the Polish border. Mussolini's regime had crumbled (Mussolini remained, but now as a German puppet). The Allies controlled Rome and were moving north toward Germany." Hitler's story has been told many times, and Nazi Germany's actions are no secret. But no Hitler biography comes close to exposing the truth behind the evil. This book explores the life and political journey of Adolf Hitler, on the road to the Second World War and some of the worst acts in humanity's history. Explore the depths of the untold evil of Hitler the man, as well as Hitler the politician.
