On the evening of November 8, 1923, the 34-year-old Adolf Hitler stormed into a beer hall in Munich, fired his pistol in the air, and proclaimed a revolution. Seventeen hours later, all that remained of his bold move was a trail of destruction. Hitler was on the run from the police. His career seemed to be over. The Trial of Adolf Hitler tells the true story of the monumental criminal proceeding that followed when Hitler and nine other suspects were charged with high treason. Reporters from as far away as Argentina and Australia flocked to Munich for the sensational four-week spectacle. By its end, Hitler would transform the fiasco of the beer hall putsch into a stunning victory for the fledgling Nazi Party. It was this trial that thrust Hitler into the limelight, provided him with an unprecedented stage for his demagoguery, and set him on his improbable path to power. Based on trial transcripts, police files, and many other new sources, including some five hundred documents recently discovered from the Landsberg Prison record office, The Trial of Adolf Hitler is a gripping true story of crime and punishment--and a haunting failure of justice with catastrophic consequences."--Jacket. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Hitler, Adolf, |d1889-1945 |xTrials, litigation, etc. 650 0 Trials (Treason) |zGermany |zMunich. 651 0 Germany |xHistory |yBeer Hall Putsch, 1923. 650 6 Procès (Trahison) |0(CaQQLa)201-0030140 |zAllemagne |zMunich. |0(CaQQLa)201-0389942 651 6 Allemagne |xHistoire |y1923 (Putsch de la brasserie) |0(CaQQLa)201-0002067 650 7 HISTORY |zEurope |xGermany. |2bisacsh 600 17 Hitler, Adolf, |d1889-1945. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00034591 650 7 Trials. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01156290 650 7 Trials (Treason) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01156419 651 7 Germany. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 Germany |zMunich. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01205308 600 17 Hitler, Adolf, |d1889-1945 |vTrials, litigation, etc. |2nli 650 7 Trials (Treason) |zGermany |zMunich. |2nli 651 7 Germany |xHistory |yBeer Hall Putsch, 1923. |2nli 647 7 Beer Hall Putsch |c(Germany : |d1923) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01351999 648 7 1923 |2fast 655 7 Collective biographies. |2aat |0(CMalG-V)300080111 655 7 Biographies. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies. |2lcgft 655 7 Biographies. |2rvmgf |0(CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000519 655 7 Trial and arbitral proceedings. |2lcgft 852 0 |bstacks |hKK69.H57 |iK56 2017
