What is the best, thorough, neutral, biography of this guy?
>I'm dying of cancer and have like six more months to live, need it badly before I'm gone so please no pro-soviet "hitler was.. LE BAD!" shit or "we were kangz" crap. just facts.

There's no such thing as neutral biography of someone like Hitler you retard. You can either buy a schizo hagiography or something mainstream.

>> No.20373709

>>20373689
Listen here you fucking nigger there's over 30 biography books on his life alone, let alone studies about his mental health, diet, and what not. You can't honestly believe there isn't even one which tries to state the honest facts of his existence.

John Toland's is the only single volume that is *actually* neutral. Kershaw writes with dripping disdain. If you pair it with Stolfi after, it's not as bad, since it takes the form of a debate.

>> No.20373730

>>20373728
With it referring to Kershaw. I'd personally recommend Richard Evan's Trilogy followed up with Toland's biography. Evans is biased like Kershaw but uses sources rather than sentiment to fight his battles.

I guess neutrality could be defined as being in between "the holocaust didn't happen" and "hitler ate shit and fucked his dog"

>> No.20373791

>>20373733
First thing first, nice dubs.
>the holocaust didn't happen
Secondly, anyone dumb enough to say that is either a blind retard or a sheep-fucker-muslim who's angry at Israel for bombing his village.
>hitler ate shit and fucked his dog
Third, if I'm not mistaken there's a book specifically about hitler's sex life and how all the women in his life killed themselves. Never heard anything about fucking dogs.

Wasn't Hitler a volcel? Also, there are single volume-only editions of Toland's book.

>"hitler was.. LE BAD!"
He kinda was though. If you write the facts of Hitler's life down, he's gonna sound like "le bad" person because he was. It'd be like writing a biography of a serial killer, there's just no way you could make him not sound "le bad."

>> No.20374063

>>20373945
It depends. Did he prefer to ban Jews sending them to Africa and Near East or to wipe them off of the face of the earth? People will think that it is le bad to do both, but is it really in the first case?

Honest facts are boring, mundane, unappealing. Sensationalism is the norm.

I read Volume I of Kershaw’s biography and I thought it was alright. A bit frustrating that when i tried to check his references they were all or almost all in German which I can’t read but I guess that’s on me.

What’s wrong with Kershaw’s book? Other than minor aesthetic faults like writing shit like “if this hadnt happened this way, hitler’s movement would’ve been finished”
