"We came across "Mein Kampf" written by Adolf Hitler himself. This is the renowned book Hitler wrote during his time in prison. It stands out from the rest of the book because this was the book everyone was talking about! This book has been translated into english. We read the first few pages and maybe a chapter of this book and learned a little about Hitler's early life. It tells us what Hitler sees in the world. We are able to comprehend a little the way Hitler thought which is a very interesting thing to study!"

"The Dark Charisma of Adolf Hitler" is a book I've read to prepare for the History cambridge written exam before and it had prepared me with some information that was crucial for evidence in the exam! I had to read it further to prepare for my next exam! It discusses how Hitler's gift of speech and his so-called charisma that blew everyone away when he spoke and how he earned their trust just by doing that."

This complete book called "Introduction to Nazi Germany by David-something" discusses in brief short paragraphs about how Hitler and his Nazi party rose to power. I notice that the cover of the book is not really eye catching but as soon as you open it, the simplicity of the sentences makes it easier to read (rather than having to read pages full of words and phrases), which i find is very practical!

The book can talk through from The Weimar Republic to Hitler's birth certificate!

Best of all about this book, it discusses a lot of topics and by the end of a full hour reading it, your knowledge about History increases more than half of what you already know!

Note: The picture above is not the cover of the book. I was not able to find a picture of the cover of the book in the Internet.
