Book Description

0874369657 978-0874369656 November 1, 2000 annotated edition

The Hitler regime warns us of the destruction that ensues when a perverted ideology and a cult of leadership are combined with a polity where power is divorced from morality. This illustrated A–Z biographical companion provides easily accessible information about the key events in Hitler's life, his most important collaborators and opponents, his domestic and foreign policies, the use of propaganda and the forging of the Hitler cult, racial persecution and the Holocaust, and Hitler as a war leader.

Adolf Hitler also includes an introduction, a chronology, maps, primary source documents, a general bibliography, and index.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"It merits consideration for public, high school, and undergraduate collections." -- Against the Grain, 12/1/2000

Book Description

The story of Adolf Hitler's rise to power and the destruction of democracy and civilized values in a great nation, for which he bears the principal responsibility, provides a painful historical lesson. This clearly written volume is an excellent starting point for studying Hitler and his impact on 20th century world history.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners, April 11, 2004

Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adolf Hitler: A Biographical Companion (Biographical Companions) (Library Binding)
If you're looking for a book which focuses on Hitler's private life, forget it, you'll have to look elsewhere. The book is decidedly weak in explaining Hitler as a human being. However, there is strength in the military aspects of the book. Hitler's rational for attacking the Soviet Union and his inexplicable (and stupid! decision to declare on the USA on Dec. 11, 1941, are explored in some detail. Remember, this is a very basic work, intended for beginners or people who have a limited grasp og WWII. If you're a serious scholar of the era, this will not be your cup of tea. But if you're just starting to read about World War II and Hitler, this is not a bad start.
