From reviewer Thomas Fleming on the back cover: "I found it an absolutely riveting book. It's like getting into a time machine and literally living in the Germany of those four convulsive years when Hitler materialized out of the nightmare mists of World War I. The eyewitness accounts of Hitler in private and pubic, and so many other vignettes of Ludendorff, Goerigin, and so many other men (and so many women!) who found Hitler irresistible., building to the blow--by-blow climax of the putsch--it's a *tour de force* of historical and biographical narrative."
