Explaining Hitler – Ron Rosenbaum 1999, unabridged, 64 kbps NOTE – I haven’t had a chance to listen to this yet, so I am not recommending the book formally. It just sounds interesting. There are multiple reviews on the Amazon page ranging from love to hate. A test listen to a few files indicates it should be in good shape. Torrent originally found on a private tracker, tags fixed. Thanks to the OP. Amazon.com Review Debates concerning the historical and moral significance of Adolf Hitler have gone on since the beginning of his rise to power in Germany. In the decades after his bunker suicide, those debates elevated to arguments over the very nature and existence of evil. An integral part of the arguments has been the ongoing attempt to understand the why of Hitler. In this engaging work of literary journalism, Ron Rosenbaum travels the world to converse with some of the historians, philosophers, filmmakers, and others who have attempted to make sense of Hitler's actions, to find a root cause for the Holocaust. Rosenbaum methodically examines the evidence for and against all the major hypotheses concerning the origin of Hitler's character. He sifts through all the rumors--including his alleged Jewish ancestry and what biographer Alan Bullock refers to as "the one-ball business"--and the attempts to derive some psychological cause from them. Various Hitlers emerge: Hitler as con man and brutal gangster, Hitler the unspeakable pervert, Hitler the ladies' man, Hitler as modernist artist working in the medium of evil.... But Rosenbaum's portrayals of those who would define Hitler are as fascinating as the shifting perspectives on the führer. Here we see the brave journalists of the Munich Post who attempted to reveal Hitler's evil to the world as early as the 1920s. We witness Shoah director Claude Lanzmann's imperious attempts to stifle analysis of Hitler and the Holocaust, branding such historical inquiries as "obscene." We see the effects, on a frazzled Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, of the controversy surrounding the publication of his Hitler's Willing Executioners. We see the interior crises of Hitler apologist David Irving and philosopher-novelist George Steiner, among others, as they struggle with the ramifications of their work and thought. And, best of all, we have Rosenbaum to serve as an informed, intimate, and on occasion witty guide. In White Noise, Don DeLillo depicted the satirical academic discipline of "Hitler studies;" Ron Rosenbaum breathes a life into the field that no fiction can match. --Ron Hogan Product Details • Paperback: 496 pages • Publisher: Harper Perennial (June 9, 1999) • Language: English • ISBN-10: 006095339X • ISBN-13: 978-0060953393 http://www.amazon.com/Explaining-Hitler-Search-Origins-Evil/dp/006095339X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1244610755&sr=1-1

Rosenbaum låter judiskt dvs jävig vare sig han vill eller ej dvs skräp .Då jag studerat historia i många år och sett alltför många pseudojournalistiska historier av judar som inte kan hålla isär känslor med arbete ,hitlers willing executioners är ett bra exempel där man i flera andra oberoende av varandra källor samt i källmaterialet nu öppet för alla ser överdrifter och lögner bara för att tjäna pengar . Böcker av detta slaget är värda noll som information , som tidsfördriv kanske eller torka sig därbak med om man är dum nog att köpa papperskopian . Junkwarning och skriv inget fjant tillbaka då jag inte läser skräpet

According to online translations, the above comment roughly means:
"Rosenbaum sounds Jewish ie biased whether he wants to or not that is rubbish. Then I studied history for many years and seen too many pseudo-journalistic stories of Jews who can not separate emotions from work, Hitler's willing executioners is a good example where in several other independent of the other sources, as well as in the source material is now open to all see the excesses and lies just to profit. Books of this kind are worth zero information, which may pastime or drought itself därbak with it if you are stupid enough to buy the paper copy. Junk Warning and write nothing twat back then I do not read trash"
Now, as I say above, *I* haven't read it yet. There are reviews on the page listed. From what I gather, the whole idea is what is known as a 'meta-analysis". The author speaks to many published authors on the topic, and tries to get a general idea of what the current thought is on how Hitler became Hitler. Meta-analyses are common in science, where a researcher might examine the results of a thousand common studies to see what the general trend is. You will occasionally see them in history books as well.

bengt1777 sounds like the kind of guy who any day now might pay a visit to his local Holocaust museum with a loaded gun & a full colostomy bag, like his undoubtedly new hero James von Brunn.
It amuses me to no end that some 70 years after the near systematic extermination of European Jewry, hordes of vacuous Euro-pee-ons, like bengt1777, still rant & rave about evil Jooooos. Maybe bengt1777 should start spending less time fretting over how Jewish academics interpret his hero Hitler's life and more time wondering how long his beloved Sweden, with its rapidly declining white/native birth rate & its ever-increasing Muslim population, will remain Swedish. That goes for the rest of Europe as well.

I must admit, anti-Semitism hit an interesting new wrinkle when someone loathes Jews so much he is willing to open fire at the generic populace simply attending a museum. Isn?t that somewhat akin to hating (for example) Italians so much that you open fire at the Olive Garden?
Totally brilliant intellectual insight, thanks so much for uploading it. Please recommend more like this.
This is all very interesting. But in the wider sense of things -- it's interesting to look at Alexander, another Monster of History. Even though he didn't initiate a holocaust, this abomination of humanity attacked the whole known world - and for no reason except "he wanted glory"; he absolutely delighted in making war; and killing huge numbers of human beings in the process.
For what? so he could have control over all existing nations. It seems history is filled with human horrors whose only reason for existence is their lust for real estate, vicious hate of others, and need for subjugation of other peoples. Sometimes I think Hitler, had he been able to cross the boundaries of time, would have seen in madmen like Alexander and Vlad The Impaler brothers & kindred spirits.
The world died a little more . . . because these terrible creatures lived & thrived.

I'm sure we can count on an unbiased opinion from Prof. Rosenbaum.
There's no business like Shoah business.
