Publisher's Summary

In this one-hour history book, discover the life of Adolf Hitler from beginning to end.

In 1889, the Eiffel tower was inaugurated in France, Oklahoma City and Guthrie were formed within hours in the United States and the first issue of Wall Street Journal came out. Yellow fever interrupted the Panama Canal construction, and in what was then Austria-Hungary, Adolf Hitler was born.

Adolf "Adi" Hitler’s birth was unremarkable, as was his carefree boyhood and troubled teenage years. A talented artist but a lazy pupil who hated following rules, how did a school dropout who had failed an entrance exam to one of the most prestigious art schools - twice - and had been a constant pain to his teachers end up as the leader of the largest political party, then the Chancellor and lastly the dictator of Germany?

From a homeless young man shoveling snow and selling paintings to Jews in Vienna, to an insignificant soldier in World War I, to the leader of a little-known movement that in a few years’ time catapulted him to international fame - a party that gave him the platform to rail against what he termed as the enemies of Germany - the Jews.

A gifted speaker who could hold thousands of crowds with his impassioned speeches, what was Hitler’s vision? He believed it was up to him to do what the leaders of a fledgling republic had failed to do - put Germany back into the limelight to prove to the world that they were far superior force and also to reclaim land they had lost after the humiliating defeat of World War I.

In this short one hour book, you will know everything you need to know about Adolf Hitler and how he influenced the course of world history.
