ICON OF EVIL Hitler's Mufti and the Rise of Radical Islam

Dalin and Rothmann offer this extensively researched investigation into the relationship between 1920s’ Palestinian political and spiritual leader Haji Amin al-Husseini and Adolf Hitler. Together, the pair guided the so-called "Final Solution" of Hitler's Third Reich, that being the devastation brought upon the Jews. Though Hitler met his end with the downfall of the Nazi regime, al-Husseini escaped to Egypt, where he continued to spread his anti-Semitic propaganda and helped to fuel modern-day views and fascists such as Yasser Arafat. Narrator Michael Prichard reads with an eye for detail, offering little in the way of improvisation or vocal theatrics. Despite his straightforward approach, Pritchard's reading is compelling and invites repeated listens. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2008]
