Hardcover Book in Near Fine Condition with a Very Good Dust Jacket. 8-page section with historic illustrations on coated paper.

Tight, solid and square binding wih red and navy endbands, Internals as new. Desmond Seward examines the lives of two of history's greatest dictators. He demonstrates the numerous striking parallels between their careers and their roles in shaping the destiny of modern Europe. They were both outsiders of humble origin, struggling to be accepted by society--Napoleon finding early success in the military; Hitler finding self-esteem through a fringe politcal group. Once they achieved power, their conduct in military and politcal life was improbably similar. For each man, their grand design was absolute conquest of Europe and for each their dream turned into a nightmare in a disastrous Russian winter campaign. So history repeats itself and the readers can find new and unexpected insights into these two terrible dictators of modern times. 319 pages with Notes and Index. 6.25 x 9.25 inches. 1989, Viking Penguin, New York,
