Hitler and World War II in the Light of Sri Aurobindo: Unmasking the Lord of Falsehood

Why does Adolf Hitler still remain an enigma, even after libraries have been written about him?

Because we try to explain him with ordinary psychology.

A failed painter from Braunau am Inn becomes the master of Europe. A corporal becomes the Führer. This is not mere ambition. This is what Sri Aurobindo called 'vital possession' by an Asuric Force.

In 1939-40, when the world still believed Hitler could be appeased, Sri Aurobindo declared that Hitlerism is the greatest menace the world has ever met and that Hitler's aim is world empire. This book is the first comprehensive attempt to understand Hitler through that spiritual lens. This book bridges three visions:

The Historical Vision: As recorded by William Shirer, Alan Bullock, Joachim Fest, Konrad Heiden and others.
The Legal & Psychological Vision: As recorded at Nuremberg by G.M. Gilbert.
The Spiritual Vision: As recorded by Nirodbaran in his profound book 'Talks with Sri Aurobindo'—where Sri Aurobindo and The Mother reveal Hitler as the Lord of Falsehood.
