How did Adolf Hitler's stubborness with a focus on the Eastern Front lead to the downfall of the Third Reich?
The Downfall of the third Reich was a foregone conclusion. The fact is that unless Hitler brought Russia down it would definitely only be a mater of time before he lost the war. So He tried in desperation to beat the Russians the Russian winter ended up being of great assistance to the Russians by destroying Hitlers forces. If Hitler had not headed for Russia the Russians would have come after him so there was not a great deal of choice in the matter for Hitler. It was a catch 22 situation, (you are damned if you do and you are definitely damned if you don't).

Best book about Hitler?
I recommend by Alan Bullock The best books are The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer, Hitler the missing years by Ernst Hanfstaengl, At Hitler's Side by Nicholaus von Below,Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer, Berlin Diary by William Shirer, I knew Hitler by Kurk Ludecke. Also any of the Time Life Third Reich books. The Hanfstaengl book in great because he is the only one who gives us a glimpse of Hitler's early years. Berlin Diary is great because Shirer was around so many top Nazis in the early years and has great discriptions of life in Nazi Germany before the war. Speer's book give you an inside look at people and events from first to last. To Temper your reading, read the Bravest Battle about the Jewish fight against the Nazis in the Warsaw ghetto and how brave they were in fighting and dying againt their Nazi foes. Be careful of relying too much on Shirer's testimony. He experienced the Third Reich at first hand - this makes him a great witness and source of evidence but not necessarily a great historian! Bullock's "A Study in Tyranny" is still regarded as a definite piece (and is highly readable). Any book by Laurence Rees, he writes in every day language and does not over complicate the issues
