Summary: A useful book on Hitler
Rating: 3

For those who do not study in this field, Max Domarus is the author of the definitive collection of Hitler's speeches in both English and German. This book is called Hitler: Speeches and Proclamations, 1932-1945--The Chronicle of a Dictatorship (4 Volume Set) My review is on its page. I recommend the German edition if you speak German.

This much shorter work is a collection of Hitler quotes on various subjects. It's definitely worth reading and far, far less expensive than Domarus's main work. For those who wish to learn more on the subject of Nazi documentary history and other forms of totalitarianism check the lists on my Amazon profile.
