Chilling analysis of evil. I had read so much about Germany and WWII, I did not see how I could learn much from another book on this, but it was a popular book at the time and the reviews were stellar, so I grimly read it and learned a lot.

One of the most authoritative biographies on Hitler. Although it is an advanced read, excerpts would be supportive of a unit on German aggression in Eurpore leading to WWII as well as Hitler as a major figure in the conflict.

Cuando la locura llega al poder, se escribe la historia. Una biografía completa y casi sin tendencias. Libro obligado para los estudiosos de la IIGM. No el mejor, pero necesario.

I thought it was really good. For good or ill, Hitler is a fascinating character. I despise what he stood for, but I still find him interesting as a character.

Authoritative and definitive. The First complete biography of the corporal from Vienna. All other scholarship is indebted to Bullock for his comprehensive study.

This is a fine even-handed biography of Hitler. Bullock just presents the facts, and they speak for themselves.

Slightly dated but virtually the best all round portrait of how one man's sad character can mirror a time and a place, playing out his emotional poverty on the world.

Good history book. I had to read this Junior year of high school. It was enlightening and taught me to consider the POV of the author as well as the information contained within a history book.

Without a doubt, the best biography I have read. Gives a great insight into Hitler and his life - provides both good and bad points of Hitler which proves to be very interesting.

This is actually a pretty interesting book, it's just that need a lot of time to actually finish, I'm looking forward to more exciting parts though

Bullock manages the material deftly: a straight-forward, easy-to-read chronology punctuated by passages of incisive analysis. An excellent overview.

Did I read this for school? I can't remember at all? I wrote that it was long and dull and detailed.

Very comprehensive and doesn't speculate much about Hitler. But no index or foot- or endnotes, which for some reason bothers me. But this is an abridged version, I think. The book has been falling apart with each turn of the page. Not certain if the book will survive the entire read intact.
