the Beer Hall Putsch and the rise of Nazi Germany
"Tells the true story of the ... criminal proceeding that followed when [Adolf] Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. ... By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was the trial that thrust Hilter into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power"--Dust jacket.
