Ryback illuminates just how close Hitler came to <em>not</em> ascending to power. The ageing von Hindenburg had promised to never appoint the Nazi leader as chancellor and succeeded in humiliating Hitler during their meeting on 13 August when refusing his demands. The Nazi party was facing electoral defeats, internal divisions, declining membership and was hemorrhaging cash, as was Hitler himself. Yet, despite these challenges, Hitler continued his quest to destroy democracy with democracy, holding rallies in sixty German cities, and he emerged victorious.</p><p><strong>Deeply researched with newly accessed archives, <em>Takeover</em> vividly captures this decisive historical turning point while providing fresh insights into Hitlers private and political life along with those in his circle.</strong></p>...(*_*)9781035417742_<p><strong>From the internationally acclaimed author <em>of Hitlers Private Library</em>, a dramatic recounting of the six critical months before Adolf Hitler assumed power, when the Nazi leader teetered between triumph and ruin.</strong></p><p>In the summer of 1932, the Weimar Republic was on the verge of collapse.
