Synopsis

Who was Adolf Hitler? It's a question writers have been trying to answer for more than sixty years. How do we explain Hitler's hatred? Where did it come from? Could it happen again?
Norman Mailer sets out to respond to these and other crucial aspects of Hitler's personality in his immensely readable new novel. Spanning three generations, and a hundred years of history, the book brings to life the Hitlers - grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, siblings, and, ultimately, young Adolf. Mailer recounts the marriages, incestuous couplings, estrangements, afflictions, and deaths that lead to the birth of little Adi in 1889.
