Explaining Hitler

- book by Ron Rosenbaum
- I thought this was a work of genius, not necessarily in its execution (which is perfectly fine!) but in its conception. What a good topic, how fruitful and productive, how revelatory of deeper structures of everything. It's about Hitler, but it's also about explanation, but in a non-academic way.
- Reminds me of Telling the American Story which was a more academic way of looking at how people explain themselves.
