An exploration of the mind of Hitler's explainers and, through them, the mind of Hitler himself. Despite countless studies of his life, essential aspects of Hitler continue to escape explanation. This book looks at the historians, philosophers and theologians who have struggled to understand him. The author, Ron Rosenbaum, details face-to-face encounters with brilliant and controversial explainers like Hugh Trevor Roper, George Steiner, David Irving and Emile Frackenheim. He reveals what they tell us not only about Hitler but what they tell us about ourselves.

Ever since the Second World War and the Holocaust, historians, psychologists and theologians alike have attempted to explain how a single personality could bring about some of the greatest horrors of the modern era. Ron Rosenbaum's Explaining Hitler investigates the meanings and motivations people have attached to Hitler and his disturbing policies - and whether or not he believed his own doctrines - and explores the continuing fascination with the nature of evil. The book also documents the story of the earliest critic of Hitler, the Munich Post in the 1920s and 1930s, and its violent demise. First published in 1998, and using interviews of leading experts such as Hugh Trevor-Roper, Alan Bullock and Daniel Goldhagen, and discussing the work of many more, Exploring Hitler is a balanced overview of a dark subject.
Ron Rosenbaum's books include The Shakespeare Wars, How the End Begins, and The Secret Parts of Fortune, a collection of his nonfiction writing which has appeared in Harper's, the New Yorker, and the New York Times Magazine, among other periodicals. He has also edited an anthology about contemporary anti-Semitism, Those Who Forget the Past.
