This intermittent transcript of the Fuehrer's table talk, six months, a month, ten days at a time, 1941-1944, is the record, corrected and approved by Martin Bormann, covering every topic under the sun -- a monologue of beliefs, projects, opinions, personal history, intimate interpretations and ideas. It is preceded by a long introduction by H. R. Trevor-Roper on The Mind of Adolf Hitler which is a further investigation of the genius, as such, that was the man. The details of the table talk offer many illustrations and material to underline Trevor-Roper's points and amplify previous analyses and portraits rather than extend or deepen them. The combination of the essay and the conversations has greater appeal for the student -- of psychology and modern history -- than the general reader and for purposes of reference and close examination this ""official"" record will have its value.
