ISBN-13: 978-1-84885-277-8, ISBN: 1-84885-277-0

"What turned Adolf Hitler, a relatively normal and apparently unexceptional young man, into the very personification of evil? To answer this question, acclaimed historian Brigitte Hamann has turned to the critical, formative, years that the young Hitler spent in Vienna. For it was here, behind the glittering curtain of artistic creativity, liberalism and prosperity, that the architect of the Holocaust was born. As a failing, bitter and d ..."

Paperback, 450 Pages, Published 2011 by Faber And Faber
ISBN-13: 978-0-571-27130-6, ISBN: 0-571-27130-8

"Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known to her family as Sisi, belongs to a famous love story of European royalty - in 1853 the Emperor Franz Josef, the most eligible bachelor in Europe, fell in love with her at first sight when she was fifteen; they were married the next year. On the surface, it was a fairytale marriage, all the more poignant, with hindsight, because her death signalled the twilight years of the Habsburg Empire. At the tim ..."

Hardcover, 592 Pages, Published 2006 by Harcourt
ISBN-13: 978-0-15-101308-1, ISBN: 0-15-101308-X

"Winifred Wagner was a British-born orphan who became Richard Wagner’s daughter-in-law, head of the Bayreuth festival, and one of Adolf Hitler’s closest personal friends.  A no-nonsense Englishwoman who displaced Wagner’s formidable widow to become head of the family and the Festival, Winifred fell adolescently in love with Hitler and made Bayreuth the summer gathering place for the Nazi elite from 1933 to 1939. And yet this staunch Germ ..."






Hitler's Vienna(Updated)
A Dictator's Apprenticeship
by Brigitte Hamann, Thomas Thornton
Paperback, 496 Pages, Published 2000 by Oxford University Press
ISBN-13: 978-0-19-514053-8, ISBN: 0-19-514053-2

"Hitler's Vienna explores the critical, formative years that the young Adolf Hitler spent in Vienna. It is both a cultural and political portrait of the Austrian capital and a biography of Hitler during his years there, from 1906 to 1913. Hitler's was not the modern, artistic "fin-de-siècle Vienna" we associate with Freud, Mahler, and Wittgenstein. Instead, it was a cauldron of fear and ethnic rivalry and a breeding ground for racist pol ..."

ISBN-13: 978-0-19-512537-5, ISBN: 0-19-512537-1

"Four months later, the young Stefan Zweig remorsefully wrote his friend, Romain Rolland, "I, like you, also believed this war could be prevented and that is the only reason why we did not fight against it hard enough when there was still time. Sometimes I see good Bertha von Suttner in front of me, saying as she did, 'I know all of you think I am a ridiculous fool. I pray to God you are right.'"4 In 1918, after this war had cost th ..."

"Austrian writer and peace activist Bertha von Suttner was the first woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. As founder of the Austrian and German Peace Associations and the author of a number of novels and several works on peace, von Suttner's name became synonymous worldwide with peace activism and protest against old world order. Ironically, her death eight days before the outbreak of World War I was seen by her contemporaries as a symbol ..."
