About this listen

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. Hitler was charged with treason after unsuccessfully trying to seize power in the notorious Beer Hall Putsch in Munich in 1923. 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. 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. Chilling in the hypothetical questions it raises, The Trial of Adolf Hitler illuminates our understanding of Hitler's path to power.

Great book and finally a great narrator !!

What made the experience of listening to The Trial of Adolf Hitler the most enjoyable?

the story is great and well researched. The narrator is a pleasure to listen to - not distracting from the story at all !!!

Any additional comments?

Hey - Audible listen up - this is a great example of a great all - around book. THIS Narrator is invisible - does not distract from the book at all. So many bad narrators at audible...
Great to have this book that I will surely listen to again !!
