Sometimes the impact of wars in history is very great. It will affect a lot of people, and these effects are often bad effects. This is the case with the wars caused by the Nazi Party.
A classic work that analyzes Hitler and Nazi Germany
First of all, the credibility of this book is very high. The author has personal experience and has access to many first-hand archives and historical materials, so the credibility of this book is beyond doubt. Then the author's writing technique is also very appropriate. He devotes a lot of space to focusing on Hitler's fortune and the rise of the Nazi Party, but the Second World War itself is relatively not that large, which is correct. Of course, there are some problems with this book. The main reason is that the author is a typical Western historian, so he does not talk much about the Soviet Union's contribution to the war, and is somewhat biased. However, overall, this book can be regarded as a classic in the history of World War II.
Hitler should have his own unique charm, but it is a pity that he did not use his charm in the right place. If he had used it in the right place, maybe everything would be different.
It was quite difficult for the author to write this book, because he needed to read a lot of books about this history, understand it, and go through the process in his mind before he could write this book.
