Suggests that Hitler's motivation for starting the Second World War was primarily based on his view "of history as a ceaseless struggle between races for domination" (author's introduction). Thus foreign policy was about empire building in the form of expansionism which in turn served as the vehicle for racial integrity and Germany's rightful place as a great power in the center of Europe.
