It
seems
appropriate
that a book on
Adolf Hitler
is the first
book in a new
series
History's
Worst.
This biography
follows Hitler
from birth
through his
childhood and
his rise to
power.
An aspiring
art student,
Hitler was
rejected from
art school
several times
before he
moved to
Germany.
There he
joined the
military and
fought in
World War
I. After
the war, he
turned his
interest to
politics and
used his
charismatic
nature to
become one of
the most
powerful men
in
Germany.
When he
finally become
the leader of
Germany, he
began his plan
to control
Europe and do
away with
people he felt
were inferior
to the
Germans. He
paid no
attention to
laws or
treaties with
other
countries.
He took what
he wanted and
eliminated
those who
opposed
him.
Read about one
of history's
worst. |
