"Author and historian Eugene Davidson, in The Making of Adolf Hitler, has produced a quality work--a rare gem which contrasts sharply with today's often superficial standards."-- Washington Star "The harsh Armistice terms of 1918, the short-lived Weimar Republic, Hindenburg's senile vacillations, and behind-the-scene power plays form the backbone of this excellent study covering German history during the first three-and-a-half decades of the century."-- Booklist "Davidson clarifies the complex political conflicts in an absorbing narrative enriched by 53 photos."-- Publishers Weekly.
