The story follows Geli from her birth in Linz, Austria, through the years in Berchtesgaden and Munich, to her tragic death in 1932 in Hitler's apartment in Munich. Through the eyes of a favorite niece who has been all but lost to history, we see the frightening rise in prestige and political power of a vain, vulgar, sinister man who thrived on cruelty and hate and would stop at nothing to keep the horror of his inner life hidden from the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHansen, Ron:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eRon Hansen is the bestselling author of the novel \u003cem\u003eAtticus\u003c\/em\u003e (a finalist for the National Book Award), \u003cem\u003eHitler's Niece\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eMariette in Ecstasy\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDesperadoes\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eIsn't It Romantic?\u003c\/em\u003e, as well as a collection of short stories, a collection of essays, and a book for children. \u003cem\u003eThe Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford\u003c\/em\u003e was a finalist for the PEN\/Faulkner Award.
