Ullrich offers little new information or critical insights, but his book delivers to historians of all stripes a lean and perceptive survey of the last week of the Third Reich.
A cogent retread of old ground, much of this densely detailed volume is about World War II and not Hitler personally; readers expecting a psychological deep dive should look elsewhere.
This biography is destined to become the new standard on Hitler, much as Alan Bullock's Hitler: A Study in Tyranny was in the 1960s and Ian Kershaw's Hitler: 1889–1936 has been since the turn of the century. [See Prepub Alert, 3/21/16.]
