DESCRIPTION:
February 26, 1924 was the first day of the greatly anticipated high treason trial that would galvanize Germany - but few in the courtroom that morning anticipated that the leading defendant, General Erich Ludendorff, whose risky offensives during World War I doomed Germany to defeat, would soon be eclipsed by the private first class at his side, Adolf Hitler. Before the trial, Hitler was only a minor, if ambitious, local party leader. Yet, once the proceedings began, his days of relative obscurity were over. Chilling in the hypothetical questions it raises, The Trial of Adolf Hitler illuminates our understanding of Hitler's path to power.. Including never-before-published sources, this richly informed, day-by-day account shows how Hitler metamorphosed into a mesmerizing demagogue and used his trial as a stage for Nazi propaganda. Hitler was charged with treason after unsuccessfully trying to seize power in the notorious Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923

CHARLES CHAN LEE said what made Hitler Hitler?. This is a must read for those who search for the many mysterious factors that had helped produce a snout brake attempting to change the world history at one stroke. King's work, though forcefully chopped up in so short a chapters, neatly points out what and who had made Hitler Hitler, never mind the hackneyed socio-political factors scholars have regurgitated thus far. There are indulgent Judge Georg Neithardt at Hitler's trial and Nobel laureates Philipp Leonard and Johannes Stark who had been so much mesmerized by Hitler's harangues at the trial as to call the snout brake a God's gift! One can read perhaps through King's book the mind
