First some statistics. At his death, Hitler's library consisted of some 16,000 volumes, of which it seems only around 1,300 have surfaced, many of them in the Library of Congress. Eighty volumes are housed at Brown University in Providence, RI. Others are scattered across the US and Europe. The original shelving system has of course been lost. So what we are dealing with is not so much Hitler's actual library as some remnants of it. Timothy Ryback had made it his task to examine the stories these books – and their marginalia – tell. He delves into them and their authors, many of whom are likely to be unfamiliar to readers in the English-speaking world. His approach is primarily chronological by date of acquisition. As far as is known, the first surviving book Hitler bought was Max Osborn's guide to Berlin, published in 1909, which he purchased in late November 1915 at a bookstore in Tourney, France, just two miles behind the front-line trenches there. Osborn, a prominent cultural critic of the time, looks at first glance like he might be worth re-discovering, though his Prussian patriotism, which veered into chauvinism, would not do today.It is in Osborn's guidebook that Ryback discovered an inch-long hair from Hitler's mustache, a detail that is almost invariably brought up in reviews, though to my knowledge no one has suggested subjecting this hair for DNA analysis to see what it might reveal. The mention of Hitler's fingerprints has attracted less attention. To judge by his book purchases, Hitler's hatred of the Jews dates from the early post-war years, when he came under the influence of Dietrich Eckhart, publisher of "the hate-mongering weekly 'Auf gut deutsch' (In Plain German)." (pg. 30) Later, Ryback provides a useful list of the anti-Semitic readings Hitler recommended, including of course Houston Stewart Chamberlain's "Foundations of the Nineteenth Century" and Henry Ford's "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem." (pg. 50ff) An autodidact since dropping out of high school, Hitler read voraciously, consuming one book per night. When it comes to literature, he seems to have preferred Shakespeare's Julius Caesar to the German classics, Goethe and Schiller. His real favorite, of course, was Karl May. Ryback points out that on the whole, Hitler seems not to have read much for enjoyment; rather, he scanned texts for arguments and facts that agreed with his preconceived notions, always looking for mosaic pieces that would fit into a larger pattern, discarding the rest. Turning to Hitler's own books, Ryback pays close attention to the opening paragraphs of "Mein Kampf," but little thereafter. He does examine early drafts, finding them full of elementary spelling errors (not just typos). Hitler often misspelled the name of one of his supposedly favorite philosophers, Schopenhauer. I say "supposedly" because Hitler's essential core, as Ryback says, was "less a distillation of the philosophies of Schopenhauer or Nietzsche than a dime-store theory cobbled together from cheap, tendentious paperback and esoteric hardcovers, which provided the justification for a thin, calculating, bullying mendacity." (pg. 183) Though Hitler most definitely labored over "Mein Kampf," in the end it is unlikely that many people found the patience to read more than a few dozen pages. It is typical that he originally wanted to give it the long-winded title "A Four and a Half Year Battle Against Lies, Stupidity and Cowardice." It was his publisher, Max Amann, who shortened this to "Mein Kampf" (My Struggle), a much better choice.In the early postwar years, Hitler saw the USA as some kind of Nordic Union. With time, though, he came to regard Americans as a mongrel race, whose racial inferiority meant they would inevitably succumb to the Aryans. This helps explain why he so cavalierly declared war on the US after Pearl Harbor. As it happened, many of the leaders in the attempt to use eugenics to create a master race were Americans such as Madison Grant, whose degree from Columbia was in law; Leon Whitney, author of "The Case for Sterilization"; and Charles Davenport (professor of zoology, Harvard). Paul Popenoe majored in English with coursework in biology; an expert in dates, he later edited the Journal of Heredity. While it's not clear if Hitler owned their books, he was familiar with their work. Lothrop Stoddard (whose Harvard Ph.D. was in history), was actually granted an audience with the Chancellor himself in December, 1939. Ryback doesn't mention it, but Stoddard also met with Goebbels and Himmler on this occasion. Moreover, he was the model for "Goddard" in "The Great Gatsby," said there to be the author of "The Rise of the Colored Empires"; Stoddard had in fact written "The Rising Tide of Color against White World Supremacy" (1920). Stoddard kept his word and never revealed the substance of his conversation with Hitler. Thankfully, Ryback does not restrict himself to books, for even his tangents are interesting. Using the circumstance that some of Hitler's collection was housed in his retreat on the Obersalzberg, he writes insightfully about the layout of his office there with its magnificent view of the Unterberg, describing it as a place of "both refuge and inspiration." (pg. 174) This was the place where all his great plans were conceived, as Hitler himself acknowledged. Ryback asks why then he decided not to make his last stand there, and speculates that if Hitler had left Berlin as the Soviets approached, it would have looked like he was trying to escape. It was important to him not to be thought a coward, to die at (or near) the front. As he heard the sound of the approaching artillery bombardment in April 1945, it must have taken him back to the Western Front during the First World War. It comes as little surprise that at the end, Hitler had a collection of the prophecies of Nostradamus at his bedside in the bunker. Being an autodidact often goes hand in hand with a fascination for astrology and the occult.
This is by far one of the most fascinating books I've read in a long time.Despite his lack of formal education Hitler was not a stupid or ignorant man, books were his constant companion throughout his life and he read more widely than most people. After the end of the war a large portion of his library was seized by allied troops and much of it is now stored in the Library of Congress in Washington DC.The author has written a series of fascinating essays about specific books Hitler owned, the circumstances of how they came into his possession and what they tell us about Hitler's life and mind. For sheer insight into the man I can't think of a better book, as I read it I felt I was really being given an understanding of what Hitler thought and felt in a way most standard biographies just can't manage. The other thing I took away from this book was the difference between the self educated mind of a man like Hitler and a true intellectual.Simply fascinating, I can't recommend this highly enough.
This is pretty interesting. I can imagine a whole series of biographies revolving around people's libraries. I recently read a similar book about Oscar Wilde and his book collection.There is some limit to the source material, given that most of Hitler's book collection was lost, but the author does an admirable job with what's available. Of particular interest was the chapter about Hitler's time in WWI, and his acquaintance with Dietrich Eckart. This is probably the most I've read about Eckart - and it's too bad for the rest of us that these two ever met.Definitely worthwhile.
There is no shortage of books about Adolf Hitler and each year new views of his life appear in print. Author Timothy Ryback uses a novel technique to unravel the source of Hitler's obsessive philosophies by a careful examination of the books of this complex and troubled man read.Ryback spent nearly ten years researching the various book collections that starting as a young man Hitler had accumulated, ending during his final days as Reichkansler of Germany. Hitler, was by all accounts, a voracious reader, who eventually created libraries in each of the locations that he lived or worked in. His holdings were said to exceed 17,000 volumes.Ryback bases most of his research on the 1200 volumes resting in the rare book section of the US Library of Congress. These books were seized by US Army forces at the close of the war. The author has carefully gone through all of the relevant books searching for marginal notes that give some hint of Hitler's particular interest and his acceptance or repudiation of theses put forward by the various writers. Books to Hitler represented a "Pierian spring, that metaphorical source of knowledge and inspiration" that quelled "his intellectual insecurities and nourished his fanatic ambitions." An outstanding feature of this book is that while you are taken through the analysis of his literary holdings, Ryback also provides the reader with a history of Hitler's life, his struggle to become a writer and the people that were most influential in shaping his view of the world. Men such as Max Osborne, the art critic, playwright Dietrich Eckart, who was seen as Hitler's mentor, Schopenhauer, Ernst Junger, and the US racist author MadisonGrant.The Chapter entitled "The Book Wars" provides details of his battle with the Catholic Church, a battle that Hitler wished to avoid. Conversations between Hitler and Archbishop of Munich Michael Faulhaber provide an intimate view of the personal dialogue between senior church officials and Hitler.Near the end of the war Hitler clung to his belief of a "miraculous salvation" of Germany, a belief rooted in his readings of Frederick the Great, who was saved from defeat at the last moment by the death of the Russian Tsarina Elizabeth, ending the Seven Years War. Hitler saw the death of Roosevelt as another salvation for Germany, but this time it did not occur.Rybacks careful examination if the marginalia in Hitler's books is thorough; commenting on the color, the accentuation, and the depth of the comments provides him the basis for his interesting conclusions as to what made Hitler click.This book is a must read for students of WWII, and Hitler in particular.John E Bragg
