Hitler’s Munich

Munich was, without doubt, where Hitler made his political mark and where the policies and struggles of the National Socialist Workers Party were centred. Germany after WWI was a country riven by divisive politics where a Bolshevik left-wing revolution was as much on the cards as was a far-right government. It was incredibly dangerous to be in politics, with assassinations and beatings commonplace. Into this maelstrom came Hitler and this book takes you through both the people and places of Munich, but also the history of the politics of the time. By placing it all in a time and place context, you can appreciate the conditions that allowed the far right to eventually seize power.
