This study charts the creation, growth and decline of the "Hitler myth". The author demonstrates how the manufactured Fuehrer-cult formed a crucial integrating force in the Third Reich and a vital element in the attainment of Nazi political aims. Masters of the new techniques of propaganda, the Nazis are seen to have used propaganda to exploit and build on the beliefs, phobias and prejudices of the day.

Ian Kershaw is also the author of "Popular Opinion and Political Dissent in the Third Reich, Bavaria 1933-1945".
