Drawing from extensive academic study, journalistic expertise, and doctoral research, Echoes in the Abyss is a provocative exploration of the intellectual and emotional influences that paved the way for the rise of Hitler. The book examines how figures such as Julius Caesar, Jesus Christ, Charles Darwin, and Houston Stewart Chamberlain played key roles in the complex web of thought, belief, and circumstance that led to the making of the Nazi leader. Each chapter brings a fresh perspective on the ideological underpinnings that helped fuel one of the darkest periods in modern history.

This is Khan’s first major publication and it is timely in an era where the rise of authoritarianism and the lingering shadow of fascism continue to stir global political discourse. Echoes in the Abyss offers a critical examination of the ideologies that contribute to the making of tyrants and serves as an essential work for scholars, educators, political analysts, and anyone with an interest in the intersections of history, philosophy, and psychology.
