Hitler's Private Library by Timothy W. Ryback
The Books That Shaped His Life
A reporter’s reconstruction of the books a dictator collected and read, tracing how specific works — biographies, history, political tracts, architecture and popular myth — helped shape his ideas and self-image; the narrative follows the provenance of individual volumes, their marginalia and bookplates, and the librarians, dealers and heirs who handled them, using those physical traces to illuminate contradictions in his personality, the intellectual currents that fed his politics, and the often-surprising postwar fate of the collection.
