The trial of Adolf Hitler

“Gripping....The Trial of Adolf Hitler provides a textbook example of how a determined demagogue can turn defeat into victory. It is also a disturbing portrait of how an advanced country can descend into chaos and of the human cost that this chaos entails.” - Frederick Taylor, Wall Street Journal
“As captivating as it is well researched and scholastically precise.” - The New Criterion
“Engrossing and well-researched....[King] vividly sets the scene....This first book-length account in English of Hitler’s trial makes an important contribution to the understanding of modern totalitarianism.” - Christian Science Monitor
“King affirms his reputation as a first-rate narrative historian in this well-researched....fast-paced account.” - Publishers Weekly
“An astute work of scholarship and vivid narrative....A meticulously researched, deeply instructive work with great relevance for our current era of right-wing resurgence.” - Kirkus (starred review)
“A powerful work that underlines what a pivot point the trial was?and how badly it went awry.” - Bookpage
“A courtroom drama both farcical and ominous. An absorbing, detailed account of a crucial?but often overlooked?chapter in Hitler’s rise.” - Joseph Kanon, author of The Good German and Leaving Berlin
“This is the definitive book on the Hitler trial in the English, German, or any language.” - Peter Ross Range, author of 1924: The Year That Made Hitler
