The book purports to offer nothing short of 'conclusive findings' on Hitler's state of health. It also reveals quite a few ghastly details about the dictator.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDer Spiegel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The image of a frail, drug-dependent psychopath in the bunker of the Reich Chancellery is one of the most enduring myths about Hitler. The explanation is simple: anyone who has millions of people killed must be ill. Hans-Joachim Neumann and Henrik Eberle pursue this theory and search for answers in the complete estate of Hitler's physician Morell, medical reports, pharmacological analysis and eyewitness reports. They arrive at a clear and decisive conclusion.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eDer Neue Tag\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"It's time to put an end to describing Hitler as mentally ill, which is not true according to Neumann and Eberle's research.... Hitler was not only healthy but could also be held fully responsible for his criminal actions. The most absurd rumours are taken up in several chapters of the book, such as Hitler's supposed homosexuality, his alleged Jewish descent and the often rumoured violent early childhood traumas. All these theses, the authors argue, can be refuted.\"\u003cbr\u003e—\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFocus Online\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIllustrations viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eList of Abbreviations xi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Madness, Design and Reality: Why a Medical Biography of Hitler? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Diseased Hitler: A Historiographical Project 7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Hitler’s Doctors: Personal Physician Morell and Others 46\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Hitler’s Medicine Chest: The Drugs and their Effects 74\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Hitler’s Medical History 104\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Hitler’s Health and the War 142\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Concluding Diagnosis 186\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSelected Bibliography 229\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 236\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865705886039,"sku":"9780745652221","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780745652221.jpg?v=1722275195","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/was-hitler-ill-9780745652221","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
