Reviews

"The vocabulary is in reach of the average layman, and where medical termsdo raise their head, Dr. Redlich, who worked on his book for more than a decade,offers clear, concise explanations."--The Washington Times, "Redlich's book will clearly prove useful to those who wish to increase their knowledge of HItler's physical and psychological anomalies."--ForeWord, "A refreshing exception to this apparent trend of deconstructing Hitlerwith the tools of textual criticism.... With his psychiatric training, Redlichexhibits the skills of a detective, seeing his subject from a distance andrecognizing that much information can be gleaned only from indirecttestimony."--Klaus P. Fischer, Los Angeles Times, "Redlich's Hitler is authoritative, masterful, filled with cogentlyformulated new medical adn psychiatric insights, a must read for all historiansof Hitler and social scientists interested in political leadership. Itsjudgements are carefully weighed and balanced. THe author is not only anexperienced clinician, but one who knows personally the community and culturethat spawned Hitler. This is much more than a pathography; it is filled withjudicious historical and political opinions which will captivate those who wishto know about moder history's most destructive figure."--Peter Lowenberg,Professor of History and Political Psychology, University of California at LosAngeles, "A scrupulous work of sholarship that reviews adn often dismisses many of the stories that have been circulated about Hitler. It also provides a reliable and thorough review of his afflictioan, crises, and psychological charactersitics...informative, exlempary."--Foreign Affairs, "A scrupulous work of sholarship that reviews adn often dismisses many ofthe stories that have been circulated about Hitler.

Dr. Redlich has givenus a skilled physician's encyclopedic report of his evil "patient," suffused with wisdom and balance.

Synopsis

Adolf Hitler unleashed a nightmare of terror in Europe that changed the course of history and forever altered our conception of human nature. But how is it possible to understand Hitler? Hitler: Diagnosis of Destruction begins to answer that question by providing the first analysis of Hitler's life by a trained MD and practicing psychiatrist. Fritz Redlich, MD, provides a full-length biography of Hitler, focusing especially on his medical and mental history and showing us precisely how Hitler's physical and mental health influenced his beliefs and behavior. Redlich engages a host of fascinating questions. Was there a history of mental illness in Hitler's family? Did he suffer from congenital abnormalities? Did he contract syphilis as a young man? What bizarre role did that disease play in his anti-Semitism? What is the history of Hitler's amphetamine abuse? Did he suffer from Parkinson's disease? Drawing upon medical records of Hitler's World War I injuries andsubsequent illnesses, combined with a penetrating exploration of Hitler's writings, Redlich offers new insight into Hitler's vision of himself as a prophetic leader. The final chapter offers a psychiatric portrait of Hitler, and it is here that Redlich's analysis reveals the highly combustible mixture of denial, projection, sexual repression, paranoid delusion, and narcissistic rage that transformed Hitler from an aimless, friendless, and vaguely resentful youth into the most destructive force of the twentieth century. Complete with illustrations, critical medical reports by Hitler's personal physicians, and a medical glossary, this book brings to light the darkest recesses of one of the world's most impenetrable minds., Redlich draws upon Hitler's medical records to show what transformed Hitler from an aimless, friendless, and vaguely resentful youth into the most destructive force of the 20th century. 22 illustrations., Adolf Hitler unleashed a nightmare of terror in Europe that changed the course of history and forever altered our conception of human nature.
