BIBLIOGRAPHY

For Middle School Students:

Marrin, Albert. Hitler: A Portrait of a Tyrant. New York: Viking, 1987.

Much more than a biograpy, Marrin provides a detailed look at both the man himself and the war he orchestrated. While he makes no effort to be objective in his portrayal of Hitler, the author gives the most detailed account of Hitler and Nazism available in books for young people.

For High School Students:

Allen, William S. The Nazi Seizure of Power: The Experience of a Single German Town, 1922-1945. Revised edition. New York; Franklin Watts, 1984.

Northeim, a small town of medieval origins in the center of prewar Germany, is the setting for this absorbing study of the impact of Nazism on a single community. As one of the only detailed local studies of Nazi Germany available in English, this book is an invaluable complement to histories of Nazism from the national perspective.

ForTeachers:

Bullock, Alan. Hitler: A Study in Tyranny. New York: HarperCollins, 1991.

The focus of this study is less on Hitler himself than on his position within the Nazi Party; Bullock explores the connection between Hitler and Nazism and places both in historical context. In addition, he traces the roots of Nazism back to the Weimar Republic.
