...aptly have been entitled "A Thousand and One Lies," contains excerpts from every important speech by Adolph Hitler from 1922 until the invasion of Russia. Not so much a historical text as a study in abnormal psychology, the book offers almost unfathomable opportunities for following the twisted paths, the worn grooves, and the perverted by-paths of perhaps the cleverest and surely the most repelling mentality produced by a century potent with many evils...
