Explaining Hitler

Explaining Hitler: The Search for the Origins of His Evil is a 1998 book by historian-journalist Ron Rosenbaum, in which the author discusses his struggles with the "exceptionalist" character of Adolf Hitler's personality and impact on the world or, worse (from Rosenbaum's point of view), his struggle with the possibility that Hitler is not an exception at all, but on the natural continuum of human destructive possibility.
