The content

The publisher of the book, who had apparently expected a report of his experiences in a few
second terms and

sensational funds, was at first very disappointed

before that accumulation of rigid boredom and verbiage.

Joachim Fest, Hitler's biographer * 1

A failed coup

Who writes a book does so because he wants to inform his readers, or

either entertain them, or both. In any case, you should not renounce to maintain a certain
suspense that makes the reading interesting and, in

profitable at best. That is why no author begins his

work counting the end, recounting the palpable failure of his project.

Whoever wants to relate a coup d'etat will rather concentrate on

describe the circumstances in which the plan took shape

survey, will detail how it was executed afterwards, will discuss the value of

the participants, his baseness will ugly to the enemies and, finally, he will celebrate the success
achieved or regret the tragic failure. No writer

I would choose to follow another path. None except Adolf Hitler.
