Good Value

Any additional comments?

I think that this might be the best of the "History in an Hour" series. It delivers a good amount of information in a short time, is well told and easy to follow. The narrator has a good voice and pace, so even if listened to in the background, one will not so easily lose track of the story line. For all of those who just want to refresh their knowledge on this subject or want some basic info, this is a good investment.

Hitler

Adolph Hitler had many evil things done to people. We did not need more adjectives to describe him. The author should have let the story speak for itself, not try and convince us how bad Hitler was.

It's a lot for one hour.

I have read a couple books on WWII and the Third Reich. This one seemed purposely biased rather than simply informative. It was rather "tabloidish" in certain respects.
