People Who Made History - Adolf Hitler (paperback edition)

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.
