Whereas most historians have argued that Hitler underestimated the American threat, Simms shows that Hitler embarked on a preemptive war with the United States precisely because he considered it such a potent adversary. The war against the Jews was driven both by his anxiety about combatting the supposed forces of international plutocracy and by a broader desire to maintain the domestic cohesion he thought necessary for survival on the international scene.\u003cbr\u003eA powerfully argued and utterly definitive account of a murderous tyrant we thought we understood, \u003ci\u003eHitler\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the origins and outcomes of the Second World War.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrendan Simms\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the History of International Relations and fellow at Peterhouse College, Cambridge.
