About The Book
Adolf Hitler is one of the world’s most puzzling historical figures. Yet, it cannot be denied that his brilliant mind, charisma and exceptional oratorical skills cast a spell over millions of people and helped catapult him into power. In a meteoric career, he rose from the rank of Corporal in the First World War to become the dictator of the German Reich.
Hitler’s Greatest Speeches is a selection of his most noteworthy speeches on diverse subjects from nationalism to the creation of the Volkswagen. It offers you the rare opportunity to read some of Hitler’s major utterances from the year 1923, when he was making his political ambitions public, to 1945, when the end of World War 11 and his defeat were apparent.
Hitler often spoke for up for up to three hours—each speech has been carefully edited to eliminate redundancy. His speeches, whether noble or perverted, were tense and dramatic. Often intellectual and always fiery, they mesmerized his followers and drove them to barbaric acts of which mankind will forever be ashamed.
Hitler’s speeches reveal that his concepts of liberty, human rights and tolerance were always secondary to his concept of nationalism. This book seeks to reveal the depth and powers of his oratory, and the realities of the time through the spoken word and the photographic image. Hitler’s Greatest Speeches has no political bent; rather, its aim is to show the historical personality and events as they really were.
