Few people know of the affair Adolf Hitler had with his niece, Geli Raubal. The couple shared a strangely intense, passionate relationship, but it was always dogged by Hitler's intolerance, his chauvinistic attitude to womanhood and his possessive jealousy.
In 1931, aged 23, Geli Raubal was found dead in the Munich flat she shared with Hitler, his revolver on the floor and an unfinished letter on the table. Hitler was shattered by his niece's death, and for the rest of his life couldn't speak of her without becoming emotional.
Hitler & Geli is the remarkable and little-known story of the most important relationship in Hitler's life.

Hitler's life seems to beg for a psychoanalytic explanation. Indeed, when he boasts about himself, as in the following passage, it is difficult not to draw the same psychoanalytic conclusions as Hayman:
I never feel tired when my storm troopers and soldiers march past me and I stand at this salute. I never move. My arm is like granite, rigid and unbending. But Goering can't stand it.... He is flabby. But I am hard.Although readers will find a more comprehensive social, medical, and psychological portrait in Fritz Redlich's Hitler: Diagnosis of a Destructive Prophet, Hitler and Geli nevertheless examines a strange part of Hitler's life that has been largely neglected.
Ronald Hayman is a celebrated playwright, and biographer of Nietzsche, Brecht, Sylvia Plath and Thomas Mann.
