Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.

What made a failed Austrian artist into the most reviled and destructive personality of the twentieth century? Where did the seeds of his rabid anti-Semitism lie? How did a marginalized loner become such a moving force in Germany? How could a nation have fallen for such a fanatic? What made him so determined to bring about war?

Through manipulation of politicians and civilians, bullying, diplomacy, violence and lies, Hitler achieved a total and unlikely power. Covering his early life, military service in World War One and eventual rise to power, first as the leader of the Nazi party, and then head of state, Hitler: History in an Hour describes the life of a man who spent his final days inside a bunker having plunged the world into a global conflict, the bloodiest in history.

I have read a couple books on WWII and the Third Reich. This one seemed purposely biased rather than simply informative. It was rather "tabloidish" in certain respects.

It's a lot for one hour.

Adolph Hitler had many evil things done to people. We did not need more adjectives to describe him. The author should have let the story speak for itself, not try and convince us how bad Hitler was.

Any additional comments?

I think that this might be the best of the "History in an Hour" series. It delivers a good amount of information in a short time, is well told and easy to follow. The narrator has a good voice and pace, so even if listened to in the background, one will not so easily lose track of the story line. For all of those who just want to refresh their knowledge on this subject or want some basic info, this is a good investment.

Good Value
