The rise and fall of Hitler is one of the most dramatic stories in the history of man. Though he spelled out his intentions quite plainly in Mein Kampf, the world powers made the tragic miscalculation that they could control him. With step-by-step descriptions of the Nazi killing machine and the major battles on all fronts of the Second World War, Rabbi Wein captures the fear and horror that seized the world in its attempt to defeat Hitler.

He also assesses the aftermath of the Holocaust: the immediate effect that gave birth to the State of Israel, and the long-term issues we face today with Holocaust denial.
