Despised by most people, did the Nazi dictator display attributes that others have copied? In the first of a four-part series examining the administrative secrets of past leaders, historian Andrew Roberts reveals that many of Adolf Hitler's techniques were unwittingly deployed by more recent heads in both politics and business. Roberts also challenges popular myths about the way Hitler ran the Nazi state and his military machine, suggesting that the key to both his early successes and his ultimate defeat lay in the way he presided over Germany.
