Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up-A concise introduction, "Adolf Hitler and His Legacy of Destruction," is followed by 16 essays, most of which have been excerpted from adult books. The selections are organized into sections devoted to exploring Hitler's early life and influences, his rise in power and its effects on the German people, World War II and the Holocaust, and his historical impact. Appendixes include discussion questions for each chapter, excerpts from speeches and original documents, a lengthy chronology, and an extensive list of materials for further research. More scholarly than Dennis Wepman's Adolf Hitler (Chelsea, 1987), this title could be used in tandem with any book on the period for an in-depth look at this complex figure.

Review
"An annotated table of contents, discussion questions, a chronology, and a reading list add to each book's value, but it is the diversity of the source materials that will make books in the series particularly useful."
-- Booklist (April 2000) (Booklist 20000901)
"Introductory biographical information is followed by excerpts from the writings of contemporary and ancient historians and biographers and literary critics."
-- School Library Journal (March 2001) (School Library Journal 20000701)
"Both layout and organization contribute to the book's accessibility. An indispensible resource for those engaged in research or study."
-- School Library Journal (September 2000) (School Library Journal 20000301)
"The mixed focus on the personal life and public issues and controversies is effectively handled here. The use of a person to make a historical period come alive in rich depth is accomplished with real skill and finesse."
-- Kliatt (July 2000) (KLIATT 20000401)
"Essays are expertly selected, and despite being written for adults, are surprisingly accessible for high-school students."

People Who Made History: Adolf Hitler,
By K Hall (Billings, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: People Who Made History - Adolf Hitler (paperback edition) (Paperback)
People Who Made History: Adolf Hitler by Brenda Stalcup is a biography of Adolf Hitler. This book was very informative and meticulous. I liked this book because it had many fascinating facts about the horrific life Hitler went through. Most people think he was only involved in the Holocaust but as I read, I learned that he affected so much in history other than that. Before the Holocaust even started, he was infamous in Germany. I would definitely recommend this book for people who love learning about history around the world or for the people who are interested in reading about Hitler and what he did to change history.
