About the Book
This revised and expanded edition has important new data. Reviewers of the earlier edition said:
My observations of Hitler and my experiences wet him as his close associate convince me that Professor Heston has come to the correct conclusions.
Albert Speer
Contributes significantly to our understanding of this complex and despised man. Clearly written with sufficient explanation of medical material.

Leonard Heston, a distinguished psychiatrist of international standing, has produced a very readable, well researched medical history of Hitler.
Alan Emery, MD, British Medical Journal
A truly engrossing book that makes readers feel they are glimpsing new and intimate views of a monumental figure. Fascinating and excellent.
American Academy of Political and Social Science Annals
I accept the diagnostic and medical conclusions. The evidence of amphetamine intoxication is massive.

Remarkable. The definitive book on Hitler's health.
William Nolan, MD author of The Making of a Surgeon
