Nothing marked him in any way as exceptional, but he did possess certain distinguishing characteristics: a capacity to hate, an inability to accept criticism, and a massive overconfidence in his own abilities. He was a socially and emotionally inadequate individual without direction, from whence came a sense of personal mission that would transform these weaknesses and liabilities into strengths—certainties that would provide him not only with a sense of identity, but of purpose in a communal enterprise. This is the focus of Laurence Rees’s social, psychological, and historical investigation into a personality that would end up articulating the hopes and dreams of millions of Germans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(With 16 pages of black-and-white illustrations)","brand":"Random House USA Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49524727546199,"sku":"9780307389589","price":15.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780307389589.jpg?v=1731857900","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hitlers-charisma-9780307389589","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
