* "The most complete and successful biography of the Führer available
for this audience."--SLJ, starred review
Many people believe Hitler was the personification of evil. In this
Sibert Medal-winning biography, James Cross Giblin penetrates this
façade and presents a picture of a complex person--at once a brilliant,
influential politician and a deeply disturbed man. Giblin explores the
forces that shaped the man as well as the social conditions that
furthered his rapid rise to power. Powerful archival images provide a
haunting visual accompaniment to this clear and compelling account of a
life that left an ineradicable mark on our world.
