A controversial book that explores the relationship between the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and Adolf Hitler, arguing that the two were classmates in Linz, Austria, and that Wittgenstein heavily influenced Hitler’s antisemitic beliefs. It also suggests that Wittgenstein, a secret communist, later sought revenge by recruiting spies to undermine the Nazi cause.
