Erik Graff's Reviews > Hitler: The Memoir of the Nazi Insider Who Turned Against the Fuhrer

Ernst Hanfstaengl, an early friend and supporter, gradually turned against Hitler, ending as a refugee in various internment camps in Britain, Canada and the United States while serving as an intelligence source for the Allies. This memoir describes his life and contacts with the Nazi leadership during the period the early twenties to mid-forties. The focus, of course, is on Hitler himself and on his evolution during this period. Filled with detailed, usually first-person, reminiscence, this book is a fascinating read.
