Description

"...A serious effort to 'make Hitler real,' hence more horrifyingly evil. The author has organized the material by subject areas, with chapters covering such topics as Hitler's mustache, combat record, diet, sense of humor, & sexual habits. Among other things, we learn that Hitler had dandruff, that he sometimes crossed his hypnotic pale blue eyes in jest, that he liked to view pornographic films, that his famous raspy voice was the result of poison-gas inhalation during World War I. Fascinating reading for the many public library denizens who show perennial interest in one of humankind's most infamous figures. Notes & sources, bibliography; index."--BOOKLIST, March 1, 1990. YA--"...an effective job of driving home this human side of Hitler while relaying his malicious & self-centered personality...The text is well written with a chronology & an extensive bibliography. Eight pages of black-&-white photographs reinforce some of the points made in the text. A book that gives a seldom-seen slant on Hitler's life, revealing him as an evil politician while showing his personal life through anecdotes."--SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, June, 1990.
