    Still the best starting point to understand 'Der Unhold'
  

*by C***N on Reviewed in India on 16 January 2014*

60 years on, Lord Bullock's classic Hitler (1952; rev. 1962) more than holds its own against any of the later biographies of the fiendish Bohemian Corporal.The first substantial biography on Hitler in English, It's beautifully written, in the clear, lucid tradition of British historians, with such memorably pithy statements like "the gutter had come to power" when commenting on the Nazi seizure of power and Hitler's accession as Chancellor in 1933.The previous substantial work was unquestionably 'Der Fuhrer' by Konrad Heiden which told Hitler's story till 1936. Bullock acknowledges his debt to Heiden's work. On the other hand, Bullock had access to the Nuremberg transcripts to give us the full picture til 1945.Please bear in mind, as the title suggests, this is not a social or economic history of Nazi Germany. So those wanting to know about what it was to live in Nazi Germany or the socio-cultural mutations that occurred during the bleak interwar period should turn to recent works like Richard J. Evans Third Reich trilogy, especially fine being the first two volumes, " The Coming of the Third Reich" (2003) and "The Third Reich in Power" (2005) - brilliant syntheses both.His basic premise is that Hitler was "jobbed into power by backstairs intrigue"; his analysis of the Nationalist Socialist phenomenon is masterful despite specialized monographs and a glut of works on the subject that have been literally flowing since the war.In his book, "Hitler of History", John Lukacs, in purporting to treat a number of historiographical problems surrounding the Hitler phenomenon and analyzing biographies on the dictator, criticizes Bullock's portrait of Hitler as "somewhat one-dimensional", while remarking on the book's commercial success and acknowledging its portrayal of other Nazi bigwigs.This is utterly unfair and unfounded as well. Lukacs gives short shrift to any concrete explanations for his presumption. Anyone chancing on this book should steer clear before reading Bullock's biography.On the contentious question of the "best" Hitler biography, the major works, academic and popular, that came after Bullock include Joachim Fest's much-acclaimed book on the Fuhrer (1973) and maverick American historian's highly readable and non-judgmental Hitler (1976) and of-course Ian Kershaw massive two-volume Hitler: Nemesis and Hubris.While people may have their choices as to which of these works interprets phenomena or structure best, I'd unhesitatingly recommend Bullock's book to the uninitiated as the first stop given its solid, serious scholarship which evenhandedly explores every issue- from Hitler's profile to domestic or foreign policy - without sacrificing narrative drive.
