Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The Domarus's books on Hitler's speeches are considered the authoritative source on this subject. I have all four volumes of these works listed here on Amazon. I also also have all volumes of the original German set. It's a useful historical source. However, there are some very major problems. If you speak German, you should definitely buy the German version rather than the English version. In the first place, it's less expensive. In the second place, the quality of the English translations (like many translated works) is not very good. Even more aggravating is Domarus's editorial style. Beginnings and endings of speeches are not clearly marked in the type setting format. Domarus insists on sticking his comments into the middle of Hitler's speeches at odd intervals, making things even more confusing. Worst of all, this is not a complete record as he claims. There are speeches that are not here. In spite of all these problems, this expensive set is well worth getting if you are a serious student of this subject. Nobody else has published anything quite so complete, and it has a value beyond the speeches themselves. It serves as a kind of guide to Hitler's actions during each year. I have some more books on Nazi documentary history in my Listmania list on this subject you can see below or on my profile. I also have a list on communist documentary history.

This translation compiles speeches and proclamations from Hitler's rise to power in 1932 to his demise in 1945.

Described as 'essential,' 'extraordinarily useful,' and 'indispensable,' this standard reference work on the Third Reich represents the most comprehensive collection of Hitler's Speeches, with an extensive commentary and the largest set of footnotes. It provides insight into his political agenda and ideology in addition to demonstrating his organizational and rhetorical skills. The four-volume set, Hitler Speeches and Proclamations is completely translated into English for the first time and is a much-needed addition to every public, research, historical, or personal library. In 1932, when Hitler became the most important political figure in Germany, Dr. Domarus began to collect his public statements, speeches, interviews, and letters, being conscious of their eventual documentary value. Friends at home and abroad persuaded him to make comments on this unique collection and publish it in its entirety. This publication's most distinctive feature is to be found in the clear, concise and insightful comments of the author.The Complete Hitler: A Digital Desktop Reference to His Speeches & Proclamations, 1932-1945 - ISBN 0865166587The Essential Hitler: Speeches and Commentary - ISBN 0865166277For over 30 years Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has produced the highest quality Latin and ancient Greek books.
