Description:
From the third of February 1933, when he told his generals in the secret of his ultimate ambition to invade and conquer the East, to the third of September 1939, when he left the Berlin Chancellery for the Polish front, Adolf Hitler had one obsessive goal - to wage war and achieve German revenge and hegemony.
Brief description: Irving's work has not been without controversy. His pursuit of Real History has sparked significant debate, a testament to the provocative nature of his extensive archival research and writings. Yet, it's this very commitment to challenging prevailing narratives that has solidified his place as a pioneering historian cited by many scholars.
Review Quotes:
"The reader is gripped at once, because the writer is so obviously in his element; he is there." The War Path is an engrossing narrative history. It is essential to the understanding of our turbulent century and of a man who changed history as we know it." - London Times
"The War Path is the prelude to the brilliant, wilful and ingenious Hitler's War. The new book covers the main events of Hitler's career from his accession to power to the British and French declarations of war six and a half years later. . . Irving has lost none of his skill in delivering the cautionary punch where he knows it will most hurt." - Michael Ratcliffe, The Times, London.
