The chilling and little-known story of Adolf Hitlers eight-year march to the pinnacle of German politics

On the night of 30 January 1933, Adolf Hitler leaned out of a spotlit window of the Reich Chancellery in Berlin, bursting with joy. The moment seemed unbelievable, even to Hitler. After an improbable political journey that came close to faltering on many occasions, his march to power had finally succeeded.

While the story of Hitlers rise has been told in books covering larger portions of his life, no previous work has focused on his eight-year climb to rule: 1925 1933. Renowned author Peter Ross Range brings this period back to startling life with a narrative history that describes brushes with power, quests for revenge, nonstop electioneering and underhand campaign tactics. For Hitler, moments of gloating triumph were followed by abject humiliation. This is the tale of a school dropouts climb from the infamy of a failed coup to Germanys highest office. It is a saga of personal growth and lavish living, a melodrama rife with love affairs and even suicide attempts. But it is also the definitive account of Hitlers unrelenting struggle for control over his raucous movement as he fought off challenges, built and bullied coalitions, quelled internecine feuds and neutralised his enemies all culminating in the creation of the Third Reich and the worlds descent into darkness.

One of the most dramatic and important stories of the twentieth century, Hitlers ascent spans Germanys wobbly recovery from the First World War through years of growing prosperity and, finally, into crippling depression. Masterfully woven into an unforgettable and urgent narrative, The Unfathomable Ascent will make us remember what we should never forget.

A fast-paced tour de force that shows how the German Republic wrecked itself from within ... a must-read for anyone interested in Adolf Hitlers march to power or the tragic fragility of democracy David King, author of The Trial of Adolf Hitler
