It is a wonderful book talking about the history of one of the most prominent dictators in the world. The content of the book describes Hitler life’s since he was born until his suicide, Also there is a lot of information about his personal life like, where he was born and where he grew up. While I read this book I found a lot of information about Hitler’s wars. I got surprised when I read about the Second World War which caused the deaths of 55 million people.
There are three important subjects in the book and the author tried to show his vision and opinion about Hitler, also the author started wondering how Hitler became chancellor of Germany? And was he a weak dictator? And was there a Nazi social revolution? All these questions have an answer in the book and a lot of evidence was published to convince the reader about Hitler. It’s the truth that he became the leader in Germany at that time, that Hitler was seeking for it when he was a child and he had hoped to rule the world.
From my point of view I believe that this book is one of the most attractive, enjoyable, useful books that show the reality of Adolf Hitler.
I recommend this book for reasons of the subject as well as the book’s content. Also, I suggest it for those who likes political issues and for the people who like to learn about different historical personalities.
