title: The Hitler Fact Book
author:  Thomas Fuchs 
description: YA-- Fuchs has done an effective job of driving home the human side of Hitler while relaying his malicious and self-centered personality. There are stories about Hitler's mustache, practical jokes, paying of personal income taxes, diet, wardrobe, religious beliefs, and other high German officials. The text is well written with a chronology and an extensive bibliography. Eight pages of black-and-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.<br /><i>- Susan Penny, St. Cecilia School, Houston</i><br />Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
