1.0 out of 5 stars Bare Basics, February 10, 2000

This review is from: Adolf Hitler: German Dictator (World Leaders Past & Present) (Paperback)

As a history teacher I find this book extremely juvenile and geared to the reading skills of a twelve year old. The history is there, but only superficially. If someone is looking for a quick read on Hitler and does not want to get to involved with facts and a variety of other information concerning history, then this book is for you.

A. M. Schlesinger, Jr. provides a somewhat interesting introduction to this book concerning leadership. However, his name and reputation do absolutely nothing to enhance this book. My advice, check the "ole' ENCYCLOPEDIA for it will do as good a job explaining Hitler as this book and it is a whole lot CHEAPER.

2.0 out of 5 stars Hitler-Leader, but thankfully not of the world., December 8, 1999

This review is from: Adolf Hitler (World Leaders Past & Present) (Library Binding)

In response to the above statement. Hitler did commit genocide, but he was a leader. He led Germany. Leaders aren't necessarily good people who do good things.

1.0 out of 5 stars I thought that this book was terrible because its not true, June 1, 1999

This review is from: Adolf Hitler (World Leaders Past & Present) (Library Binding)

I tottally disegree that hitler is a leader because he killed millions of people who were not exactly like him. Just by reading the cover before i read the book i knew it would be bad because hitler aint no leader and thats the truth.
