Summary:

Hitler in Vienna offers a revelatory look at Adolf Hitler's all-important formative years in Austria's capital -- from his first encounter fresh from a small provincial town to his departure six years later as World War I loomed on Europe's darkening horizon. Making use of many new sources previously unavailable in English, the author tracks Hitler's whereabouts and activities during this crucial period: his friendships, artistic endeavors, political encounters, and personal disappointments. But this work is more than just a fascinating biography of the wellsprings of one dictator's malignant hatreds. It is also a detailed portrait of a dazzling, thoroughly paradoxical city, one that helped create the unbridled brilliance of Freud, Mahler, Schoenberg, and Wittgenstein, as well as the ruthless and racist depravity of the future Fuhrer.
