This compelling historical account examines the life of General Erich Ludendorff, a key military leader of World War I and an early influencer of Nazi ideology.

Will Brownell explores how Ludendorff’s extreme nationalism, authoritarian views, and deep resentment over Germany’s defeat helped lay the groundwork for Hitler’s rise to power. Through meticulous research, The First Nazi sheds light on Ludendorff’s radical beliefs, his role in the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, and his lasting impact on Germany’s political landscape. A gripping read for those interested in the origins of fascism and the forces that shaped the 20th century.
