Adolf Hitler is one of the most studied men in history, and yet the most important things we think we know about him are wrong. Simms demonstrates that Hitler’s main preoccupation was not, as widely believed, the threat of Bolshevism, but that of international capitalism and Anglo-America. These two fears drove both his antisemitism and his determination to secure the ‘living space’ necessary to survive in a world dominated by the British Empire and the United States.
