Hitler 1889-1936: Hubris By Ian Kershaw Norton. 845 pp. $35.00.

In the Introduction to the fine first part of his projected two-volume biography, Ian Kershaw asks, "Has this been Hitler's century?" The answer remains, appallingly, yes. He has rivals, of course --Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse-tung among the criminal tyrants; Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, among the savior statesmen. But in these waning days of the millennium it is Adolf Hitler, "the ridiculous corporal," as one of his henchmen secretly called him, whose hold on us is strongest.
