BAINBRIDGE, BERYL — Young Adolph

London, Duckworth. 2000. Hardcover with dust jacket, 20.5cm. Book, Book pristine, less than 500g for post. The Hitler in this book is a lazy, easily irritated, self-centered dreamer with a fondness for sleeping and plagued by delusions of bearded men chasing him. His paranoia is a motivating factor in everything he does here. We see through Hitler's eyes a number of items that would later be associated with Hitler - for tattooing numbers on people in a hostel to identify them to how easy it is for one civil servant to boss around a lot of people provided he has the authority to, growing a moustache, it's all here.Hitler is already an anti-semite and a racist before the start of this story and one can assume the rest as the blanks in Hitler's character will be filled in with his experiences in World War I. Fine/Fine.
