Racy read on Hilter's effectiveness as a military commander

This is an excellent book about the strengths and weaknesses of the WWI corporal who led Germany to catastrophic defeat in WWII. Emboldened by his early successes Hitler underestimated his enemies, made rash decisions, and became withdrawn from the realities of the battlefield. This book side-steps the evils of Hitler and the Nazis to concentrate soley on his effectiveness as a military commander and provides a quick, racy read.
