Description:

School Library Journal: Best Book of the Year

Adolf Hitler der Fuehrer rose from a childhood of obscurity to wield more power than probably any person in history. His control over his subjects was so complete that he literally shaped every aspect of their lives. The slightest defiance of his authority meant torture or death. Marrin carefully traces the forces that framed Hitler's fanaticism; readers will learn of his hardhearted and abusive father and his doting and indulgent mother who continually schooled Adolf in his superiority over other children. When he is twice rejected at a prestigious art school in Vienna, Hitler's delusional thoughts of himself seek a scapegoat for his seething anger. This was the genesis of Hitler's raging anti-Semitism that would play out in the deaths of over six million people.

Hitler's path to power included a heroic career as an infantryman in World War I where he earned six medals for bravery, including the Iron Cross. But Germany's surrender plunged him into a dark depression. In this state he began to believe he was called by God to "right Germany's wrongs, rebuild her armies, and punish the traitors." The rest is history, and Marrin brings the tragedy of Hitler's dark reign to the young adult reader in a manner that is honest, forthright and sobering. Illustrated with maps and photographs.


Editorial Reviews

Review

Marrin writes insightfully about the life of Adolf Hitler and attempts to ascertain the reasons for his fanaticism, as well as the motives of those who blindly followed him. The author forgoes sensationalism, and his matter-of-fact writing style and recitation of events are more than adequate to chronicle the horror. Step-by-step, he describes how Hitler, a seemingly shy, insecure young man was able to inspire a defeated nation that saw the extermination of many of its citizens as its salvations --Booklist

Marrin avoids both psychobabble and outrage as he discusses the childhood influences and failures as a young adult that led to Hitler's destructive, racist personality.... A useful, enlightening study of what created Hitler the madman. --

About the Author

Dr. Albert Marrin is a master at weaving personal perspective and historical material smoothly to give readers an interesting and reliable account of the subject. He has written over two dozen award-winning nonfiction books for young people which have been called "addictive reading" by The Horn Book. This is a wonderful clue to the type of author Marrin is. Three of his books, including Hitler and Stalin: Russia's Man of Steel, were School Library Journal Best Books of the Year.

Chairman of the history department at New York's Yeshiva University, Marrin's books have made the past accessible to young readers. In award-winning books such as
1812: The War Nobody Won, Cowboys, Indians, and Gunfighters: The Story of the Cattle Kingdom, and "Unconditional Surrender": U. S. Grant and the Civil War, he has created a tapestry of United States history by focusing on dramatic moments and famous personalities. With biographies of leaders and tyrants from Napoleon to Hitler, Marrin has also interpreted the events of a larger world stage for juvenile readers. Additionally, his several books on the First and Second World Wars provide well-organized introductions to many aspects of those struggles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Forgotten Story

N.H. · October 19, 2022

My life experience of talking with others is that details shared by Marrin are largely forgotten. We Americans may have a broad view of what happened during the Second World War, but we are grossly ignorant of the details. Marin’s Hitler is a fascinating read that will enlighten students and give them the passion to remember evil and passionately protect valuable human life.

This book takes a look at Hitler and his life. It is a good read for a mature person who is able to differentiate right from wrong. A bit disturbing, glimpsing into the psychy of such a wicked man, but still a good book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview of Hitler's life

N.D. · February 14, 2010

This was the first book I've read about Hitler, and it was recommended reading for our history curriculum. My son and I both enjoyed the reading style which provided a lot of information without being too wordy. I like the Albert Marrin books because they give the information in a straight forward manner.
