Personality and Power
Builders and Destroyers of Modern Europe
Langbeschreibung
Looking at Lenin, Hitler or Franco, Kershaw asks: What was it about the times they lived in that allowed them such untrammelled and murderous power? In a contrasting group of profiles, from Churchill or Adenauer to Gorbachev or Kohl, Kershaw uses his exceptional skills to think through how other, strikingly different figures wielded power.
Ian Kershaw is the author of Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris and Hitler 1936-1945: Nemesis, which received the Wolfson Literary Award for History and the Bruno Kreisky Prize in Austria for the Political Book of the Year, and was joint winner of the inaugural British Academy Book Prize. His other books include Making Friends with Hitler, which won the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography; Fateful Choices; The End; and his histories of modern Europe, To Hell and Back and Roller-Coaster.
