Hitler: The Wolf’s Lair - A Narrative History of the Dictator Who Set the World on Fire #939757

The most destructive force in human history began as a whisper in a flophouse.
How did a failed artist transform a civilized nation into a machine of industrial death? What were the sensory realities of the bunkers where the fate of millions was decided?
In The Wolf’s Lair, historian Dominic Haynes delivers a visceral retelling of Adolf Hitler’s rise and fall. This narrative history places you directly in the room, using the perspectives of those who stood in the "Wolf’s" shadow—from journalist William L. Shirer to secretary Traudl Junge. Experience the suffocating atmosphere of the Third Reich, from the raucous Munich beer halls to the concrete silence of the Führerbunker.
Inside, you will witness:

• The radicalization of a drifter in the soot-choked hostels of Vienna.
• The hypnotic "Cathedral of Light" rallies designed to blind a nation.
• The cold, bureaucratic industrialization of the "Final Solution."
• The frantic, delusional final hours deep beneath a burning Berlin.

You may know the dates, but you haven't felt the pressure of the bunkers. This is the definitive, sensory account of the 20th century’s darkest hour.
Enter the Wolf’s Lair.
