Adolf Hitler

The most notorious man in history, Adolf Hitler, is best known for having perpetrated crimes against humanity over the six-year course of World War II. His brutal extermination policies are responsible for the deaths of close to 30 million people he considered inferior, and added to that, the military casualties suffered by all parties, yields a grand total of approximately 60 million people dead by the end of the war. That number equates to 3% of the world’s population at the time. But, who was this man? What made him into the monster he became? Can his childhood explain the formation of such a brutal dictator?

Inside you will read about...

✓ Hitler’s Early Years
✓ Hitler’s Years in Vienna
✓ Life After Vienna – Hitler’s Early Military Career
✓ The Formation of the Nazi Party
✓ Hitler’s Imprisonment and Subsequent Rise to Power
✓ World War II

This book tells the story of the man behind the monster in concise yet thorough detail. Hitler’s childhood, his early life and dreams of becoming an artist, his military career in World War I, his subsequent rise to power as the leader of the Nazi Party, and his rule during the war are presented in succinct, compelling detail packed with historical information that makes for an entertaining and informative read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, Well-Written Great Book
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018

For the sake of transparency, I was asked by the publisher of this book to do an honest review and they supplied me with a free version of the book. I have done this in the past and sometimes have unfortunately had to write an unfavorable review. But that's not true in this case. I think what Hourly History is doing is wonderful. They choose specific topics of history and write a concise, well-written book that is supposed to take approximately 1 hour to read. In this case the topic was Adolph Hitler. I was amazed at how much information could be packed into such a short read. Though many people are very knowledgeable about this tyrant I believe most could still learn some unknown fact by reading this. In this short book they cover his life from birth to death and include the influences and occurrences that molded him into who he became. I also appreciated that they made it clear when there were questions about what exactly the facts were, when different sources stated different facts. This book was very well written and an easy read.The concept behind Hourly History allows someone who only wants to know about a specific topic to read a short book on that topic, and not have to wander through vast history books or large tomes to get to the meat of the topic he or she is interested in. This is a great idea and I look forward to reading more of their books in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Compact book, not a wasted word.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2018

This book by Hourly History certainly serves its objective of giving readers a concise introduction to Adolf Hitler's life. There are far too many tomes about World War 2 as well as Hitler himself and it is easy to get lost in the details of the time. So its rather refreshing to read a compact book that gives a layout of the man's life. Yet, there are some periods of Hitler's life that are given more attention than others - I really enjoyed reading about the time he spent in WWI and the things he learnt there, it gives quite a bit of insight into his future persona. I missed reading similar detail about the later part of his life, especially during WWII, which is summarized a little too quickly so that the last 10 years of Hitler's personal life/ thoughts remained unclear. It would have been good to read how he responded to some of the biggest battles of WW2 and the way some of those failures led to his mental imbalance. Eva Braun is mentioned only in one line, and that aspect of his life could have been elaborated upon somewhat too. Of course, that would have led to a 1.5 hour book not a 1 hour one! In all fairness, it is very hard to compress the life of such a historically relevant and larger than life personality into an hour's read, and I don't think I would have ever picked up a tome on Hitler - just not my cup of tea. This book gave me a good insight into his personality, it is packed with information and hardly a word is wasted. I am going to read more books by Hourly History!

I didn't feel that I ever understood how he got into a position to do such horrible things to his own country as well as all of Europe and in particular the Jewish population. The loss to the world of 6 million Jews and their enormous intellect has undoubtedly still having repercussions. I will never understand how such hatred can be a part of mankind which it clearly is and we must always be aware of. This is a short and interesting read.

It was difficult to decide on how many stars because the book would really appeal to
different types of people. If you are looking for something very detailed and historical it is an awesome book and I highly recommend it. I look for more narrative and have kind of a hard time with all the specific details. If I knew someone who was taking a class and wanted to have details in a very concise form about Hitler, this would be the book to read. Therefore I am giving it 5 stars.
Also, it was so interesting to see the progression from Hitler being a child through to ultimaletly the monster he became. I had never thought of Hitler in that respect. When hearing of someone committing heinous acts, it is tough to imagine them coming into the world as an innocent baby and then turning out to be so horrible.

Hitler was one of the most powerful and despised persons in recent history. His obsession with Aryan supremacy caused the deaths of millions of Jews.

The book covers all the key points about his rise to power and also his life growing up. He was a gifted artist. I have often wondered what the course of history would have been had he been accepted into the Academy of fine arts Vienna.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Overview
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019

Like so many people, I have heard horror stories about Adolf Hitler all my life, but I knew very little about the man himself or his background. In the span of about an hour, Hourly History takes us on a tour through Hitler's childhood and young adulthood, showing how the groundwork was laid and the seeds were planted for the monster this man would become. It described how Hitler initially became involved with the Nazi party and his rise up through the ranks of the German government. There were many major events in his life that I was not aware of - being rejected from art school, his mother's death, and the many other occurrences that shaped the emotional imbalance that ruled most of his adulthood. I had no idea of the staggering numbers of people tortured and/or killed under his leadership, but that is all summarized near the end of the book.

I have read (as well as enjoyed) quite a few books in the Hourly History series, and have learned new things from each of them. Some of the books are even free on Amazon, so check out the long list of titles and start learning the basics about a wide variety of historical figures and events.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Dive into a Dark Chapter of History
Reviewed in India on November 20, 2023

The book starts by delving into Hitler's formative years, painting a picture of the man before the rise of the Nazi party. The author navigates through Hitler's personal struggles, political ideologies, and the socio-economic climate of post-World War I Germany, offering readers a nuanced understanding of the factors that contributed to his ascent.

One of the strengths of this biography is its commitment to historical accuracy. The author diligently chronicles Hitler's political rise, from the early days of the Nazi Party to his appointment as Chancellor of Germany. The narrative explores Hitler's charismatic oratory skills and his ability to exploit the social and political unrest of the time.

The portrayal of Hitler is both thorough and objective. The author does not shy away from the darker aspects of his character, detailing the atrocities committed under his regime. Yet, there is an attempt to humanize Hitler by examining his personal relationships and motivations, providing readers with a more comprehensive view of the man behind the dictator.
