Führer. Hitler's Path to Power

Konrad Heiden — a renowned German anti-fascist journalist and Social Democrat. He was a contemporary of Hitler and a witness to the rise of national socialism. As a staunch enemy of the Nazis, Heiden documented all the circumstances of Hitler's rise to power. In 1932, his critical History of National Socialism was published in Berlin. In 1935, he was forced to leave Germany and flee to France. A few years later, Heiden published the first serious two-volume biography of Hitler, for which he was deprived of German citizenship.
