R. H. S. Stolfi, professor emeritus at the US Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California, and retired colonel in the US Marine Corps Reserve, is the author of German Panzers on the Offensive: Russian Front, North Africa 1941–1942; Hitler’s Panzers East: World War II Reinterpreted; and NATO under Attack: Why the Western Alliance Can Fight Outnumbered and Win in Central Europe without Nuclear Weapons (with Friedrich Wilhelm von Mellenthin and E. Sobik).
Description
"This is no neo-Nazi apologia for the horrors of the Third Reich. It is an earnest effort to interpret Hitler’s personal evolution and place his actions within his personal and political context. . . . In trying to fathom the ‘real’ Hitler, Stolfi may be on a fool’s errand, but this provocative work is at least worthy of discussion.” —Booklist
