The short biography of The Life and Death Of Adolf Hitler by James Cross Giblin tells about the story of a feared man starting from his birthplace Austria and showing how he was pursuing his dream of become an artist but how the academy turned him down, then how he rose to the top during world war I and how he became chancellor in 1933 of the country he respected as a child, then the fall of his reign with his suicide. He really shows how this hated man in history really went off on the world.

The feature that I think is the best is that he traces all of Hitler’s life from exactly beginning to end. Also he answered many questions that I have had before which really helped with my understanding. Then he avoided all of the things that were happening during his life and focusing on only him and his actions. Therefore he never goes on one side he is always even for example even though he says he was a bad man he also says all the good thing he did for his country, for example how he made the economy and employment rise.

The only thing I disliked was that the pictures were in black and white, overall it is a great book. It has all the details and the facts during that time. Giblin also explains how he was a really great painter and how he loved it. He tells how he sold small postcards for a living until he joined the military. And that Hitler loved his family a lot. For example how he almost killed himself when his mother passed.

I would surely recommend this book to anyone especially to the ignorant people who think they know everything about Hitler. Because it really brings out the truth about him, how he made his country proud but he made the world hate him. Also he explains why he had so much hatred towards the Jewish religion and the people and how he thought he would fix it.

Overall Giblin did a tremendous job in getting all the facts in one book. Also how Giblin questions,” What would have happened if he did get accepted into the academy? In conclusion Giblin shows and explains how Adolf Hitler became the most hated man in the world and in history.
