Annotation: By the author of Hiroshima Nagasaki (2011), Vietnam: The Australian War (2007) and Kokoda (2004). This multi-award winning author writes about a biography of young Adolf Hitler who went to WWI in 1914 at the age of 25 only to be awakened by temporarily blindness from mustard gas in hospital bed. When he came to realisation that Germany has lost the war, it was too much to bear for him. He was in complete loss to see his fatherland has been taken by others not only physically but ideologically by Kaiser, a Marxist uprising in Bavaria. This biography tries to explore a young Hitler's mind growing up in Linz, Vienna and Munich to become one of the most brutal dictator of the 20th century.
