In geography and history he was "satisfactory"; in free-hand drawing, "excellent." But without Adolf Hitler, who was possessed of a demonic personality, a granite will, uncanny instincts, a cold ruthlessness, a remarkable intellect, a soaring imagination and -- until toward the end, when, drunk with power and success, he overreached himself -- an amazing capacity to size up people and situations, there almost certainly would never have been a Third Reich. He had never tried to earn a cent. Description taken from 9781441734211. The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany is a book by the journalist William L.
