- This book tells the story of how Hitler became the Nazi leader. As a volunteer in the Bavarian army he had no natural home after World War I. He found his home in right wing politics.
- Weber also contrasts differences between Hitler's auto-graphical accounts and what the historical record shows. These discrepancies highlight much about Hitler's personality and character.
- This book also seeks to identify when Hitler's political beliefs were developed. While the exact timeline is fuzzy. It is clear that he dallied in left wing politics before developing his staunch right wing views. His antisemitic beliefs were also developed at this time.
