THE UNFATHOMABLE ASCENT
How Hitler Came to Power
The chilling and largely untold story of Adolf Hitler's eight-year march to the pinnacle of German politics.
On the night of January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler leaned out of a window of the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, bursting with joy. Even to Hitler, the moment seemed unbelievable. After an improbable political journey that came close to faltering on many occasions, his march to power had finally succeeded.
While the history of Hitler's rise has been recounted in books covering larger portions of his life, no single work has focused on the eight-year run during which his climb to rule occurred - 1925-1933. Now renowned author Peter Ross Range brings this period back to life: Hitler's unfathomable ascent is a political passage that spans Germany's recovery from World War I through years of growing prosperity and, finally, into crippling depression. It is a tale of personal growth and lavish living, a melodrama rife with love affairs, suicide attempts, and an unrelenting struggle for control - all of which culminated in the creation of the Third Reich and the western world's descent into darkness.
Masterfully woven into one unforgettable and urgent narrative, The Unfathomable Ascent will make us remember what we should never forget.
Peter Ross Range is a world-traveled journalist who has covered war, politics, and international affairs. A specialist in Germany, he has written extensively for Time, The New York Times, National Geographic, the London Sunday Times Magazine, Playboy, and U.S. News & World Report, where he was a White House correspondent. He has also been an Institute of Politics Fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, a Guest Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center in Washington, and a Distinguished International Visiting Fellow at the University of North Carolina Journalism School. He lives in Washington, DC.
