From 1921 to 1937, Ernst Hanfstangl was a comrade-in-arms and friend of Adolf Hitler. Therefore, his memoirs provide a unique chance to understand how an unknown artist turned into the almighty Fuhrer. The book reveals the inner world of the most terrible dictator of the 20th century and a picture of the transformation of the German Republic into the empire of the Third Reich. Hanfstangl shows how an ambitious leader, having embarked on the path of dictatorship, gradually becomes a god-man confident in his unlimited power and at the same time a prisoner of lust for power and loneliness.
