2-volume book collection by Volker Ullrich

Hitler is a collection of two volumes by Volker Ullrich. Jefferson Chase translated both volumes into English.

The books were originally published in German by S. Fischer Verlag.

The first volume Hitler: Ascent, 1889-1939 (German: Adolf Hitler: Die Jahre des Aufstiegs 1889-1939), published in German in 2013, was published in English in 2016 by The Bodley Head and covers up to 1939.^[1]

Michiko Kakutani of The New York Times wrote that Volume I "offers a fascinating Shakespearean parable" regarding Adolf Hitler's rise to power and highlights how Hitler advanced his political career through "demagoguery, showmanship and nativist appeals to the masses."^{& Hitler: Ascent 1889-1939 by Volker Ullrich - Goodreads DUPYD}
