Summary: Is He A Real Man
Comment: When ever you think of Adolf Hitler, you always think of what he has done wrong. I bet you never knew how he got people to believe him in his speeches. This man was a person like me and you until some dramatic changes in his young life. Did you know he also was very clever and, charming? Also he was very
intelagent and poor.
In this book it tells all the things that happened to Adolf Hitler.It tells how people believed. How people thought he was the one to lead Germany, but I guess that they never thought he would do so much evil.
He also wanted to do things in his life, and make a good difference as he was interested in the arts. This book tells his life from the beginning as a baby to his death. This shows how Adolf got supporters of the Nazi Party and how the Nazi Party got started.
I would suggest this book for people who want to learn about Adolf.Also I'd recommend this book for people 7th grade and over.

Summary: Wes from Richveiw Middle School
Comment: The story is about Adolf Hitler and his group called the Nazis.They killed all of the Jews they could in Germany.Adolf hitler was a deeply disturbed man who had a problem with gypsies, homosexuals and mostly jews. He was beaten by his father , his mother died of breast cancer,He eventually became homeless in vienna and sold paintings.In 1914 he was summoned to the Austiran army.He received two iron crosses for bravery.The story ends when the US army came and defeated the nazis . Then he was found he had committed suicidein a bunker after marring his wife the night before. I dinnt like this book because he killed alot of inocent people.

Summary: Evil encapsulated
Comment: Is it ever appropriate to write a children's biography of an evil man? After reading Giblin's excellent biography of Hitler, the answer is yes. Placing the life of this man within the context of his times, readers get a glimpse of what it was like in Germany before and during his rise to power. Certainly I was surprised to see that in this book scant attention is given to Germany after the war. But as this is the life and death of Hitler, not Germany, I can understand the author's choice. Giblin is clever with his subject too. He does not sentimentalize the dictator, nor demonize him with anything but the man's own actions and words. After reading Russell Freedman's extraordinary biography of Lincoln ("Lincoln: A Photobiography"), I was struck with these two contrasting leaders. Children learning their world history would do well to have these books assigned together. Lincoln and Hitler both dealt with poverty and violence. They led their people through two extraordinarily bloody wars. But while Lincoln sought (in time) to defeat slavery, Hitler instated it country by country. This book is best used as a warning to those who would seek their own glory through political power. Perhaps this is just my own politics at work, but I was struck by how Hitler created a supposed act of terrorism as his excuse to invade Poland. And here we are in a country that has created supposed acts of terrorism (falsified reports of weapons of mass destruction, for example) to invade Iraq. Just a thought. I would read sections of this book aloud to kids, though probably not the parts that refer to Hitler's sex life (or lack thereof).
