Psychology will never leave the subject of Hitler’s complicated
personality, which still defies attempts to identify exactly the origin of his
unique evil genius. Ron Rosenbaum’s Explaining Hitler, based on 10 years’
research with such as surviving contemporaries, historians, theorists and other
explainers, is an important addition to the huge library about the Austrian
monster. It is absorbing and sheds light, but ambiguities and mysteries still
remain. Published by Macmilllan, £25, ISBN 0333734572.
