Requests:  0 Summary:  The true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that followed when Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. Reporters from as far away as Argentina and Australia flocked to Munich for the sensational four-week spectacle. By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was this trial that thrust Hitler into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power. Based on trial transcripts, police files, and many other new sources, including some five hundred documents recently discovered from the Landsberg Prison record office, this is a gripping true story of crime an dpunishment -- and a haunting failure of justice with catastrophic consequences. --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 345.43023 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 345.43023 Ki Checked In Add Copy to MyList
