The book describes the early history of Adolf Hitler's life. A specific incident involving Hitler, hysterical blindness after a mustard gas attack at the end of World War I causes him to meet a psychiatrist, Edmund Foster. Foster had a profound impact in changing Hitler's personality as part of his treatment required intense focus on his love for his country and nationality. This came into play later in Hitler's life when he started his reform of his beliefs, party and country.
It was highly entertaining and at times tiring due to historical facts being transferred by the author. What was very interesting was the descriptions of the times and hardships described. Historical progression allows these details to deteriorate in the mist of time. My realization was, those were very different times to what we live in. The psychological facts were presented in understandable terms as the book wants to be an intertwining diary of the two main characters, but somewhat distant to my field of interest.
The book is recommendable to people with an interest in history, and especially so to those with an interest in the life of Adolf Hitler
