About this listen

How does a man become a monster? This isn’t just a book about Hitler — it’s a psychological descent. How a Man Becomes a Monster: The Rise of Adolf Hitler is an, unflinching examination of the 20th century’s most infamous figure — not as a caricature of evil, but as a man who was broken, angry, and shaped by a world willing to listen to his rage. From childhood trauma to art school rejection, from the trenches of World War I to the gas chambers of Auschwitz, this book follows the slow transformation of Adolf Hitler with brutal clarity. It doesn’t just tell you what he did. It shows you how — and why — the world let him. This is not about sympathy. It’s about accountability. And about the terrifying truth that the greatest crimes in history weren’t committed by demons — but by humans.
