2010-06-01 Hardcover First Edition New Otto Dietrich was a 34 year old journalist when he met Adolf Hitler in 1931. When two years later, in 1933, he was invited to become Adolf ... Hitler's press chief, Dietrich accepted with the simple uncritical conviction that Hitler was a great man, dedicated to promoting peace and welfare for the German people. Years later, after the end of the war, and five months after Hitler's death, imprisoned and now completely disillusioned, Otto Dietrich sat down to write all that he had seen and heard during his 12 years of close association with Hitler. After finishing his memoir, in 1948, Dietrich gave his writings to someone he trusted, requesting only that his memoir be published after his death, when he felt that his credibility and objectivity could net be challenged on the grounds of self interest.

Overview

"Dietrich's book is a searing condemnation of the regime that he had so assiduously served and, throughout, he is critical both of the German people and of himself. But his real fire is clearly reserved for the person of Hilter: a man 'unparalleled in history', a 'schizophrenic... of unique intensity,' whose 'inhuman and instiable will shattered the edifice of contemporary life." -Roger Moorhouse" "Hitler was a demonic personality obsessed by racial delusions. Physical disease is not the explanation for the weird tensions in his mind and the sudden freaks of his will. If any medical term applies to his mental state at all; it would undoubtedly be 'megalomania.' But he was in no sense mentally ill; rather he was mentally abnormal, a 'person who stood on the broad threshold between genius and madness. It is not the first time in world history that such a figure has come to the fore." In mind and soul Hitler was a hybrid creature-double-faced. Ambivalence is often the concomitant of genius; inner stresses can strengthen the entire personality. But in Hitler the inner contradictions had got out of hand; the split in his nature had become the determinant of his whole being. For that reason his essential nature cannot be understood in simple and natural terms; It can be grasped only as a union of opposites." -Otto Dietrich.
