Post - World War I Germany is a nation in chaos; its economy ruined, its political leadership weak, the country is ripe for radical change. Hitler and his growing legion of followers seize the moment, and over the next five years the Nazis achieve an astonishing level of influence. These are Hitler's truly formative years; he hones his skills as a public speaker, develops his monstrous theories of racial supremacy, and first imagines himself as a national savior. The German public yearns for answers, and this improbable political evangelist provides them.""
