• Few historical problems are more baffling in retrospect than the conundrum of how Hitler was able to rise to power in Germany and then command the German peoplemany of whom had only marginal interest in or affiliation to Nazismand the Nazi state
• It took Ian Kershawauthor of the standard two-volume biography of Hitlerto provide a truly convincing solution to this problem
• Kershaw's model blends theorynotably Max Weber's concept of `charismatic leadership'with new archival research into the development of the Hitler `cult' from its origins in the 1920s to its collapse in the face of the harsh realities of the latter stages of World War II
