The Man Who Invented Hitler - The Making Of The Führer: David Lewis

Adolf Hitler emerged from World War I temporarily blinded from a gas attack, never having risen beyond the rank of lance corporal and showing no sings of the leadership that would make him feared throughout the world. Yet within months of the Armistice, he had begun building the Nazi Party with himself as its unassailable personification, the Führer. How did this change come about? The author reveals why Hitler was sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment for his 'blindness'; how the doctor who treated him, Edmund Forster, deceived his unusual patient and dramatically changed Hitler's personality; and how the man who unintentionally created a monster was finally destroyed by him.
