Book Reviews of Hitler Sites: A City-by-city Guidebook (Austria, Germany, France, United States)
Book Review: Interesting, but expensive text
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this book mainly from reading reviews from others on this site.
The book is interesting as there appears to be no other book on the market that identifies locations that were important to Hitler and his "golden pheasants". I found the book to be relatively well written and easy to read, although the lack of images for many of the locations makes following the text a tad confusing. The author has included photographs for many of the major locations, however, the lesser locations do not have any photographs. The author also has failed to add a small map which would have provided a good overview to the actual site location on the ground.
If your interested in the subject matter then the lack of map and photograph is acceptable, but at $40.00-$50.00 for a soft covered book you would have expected more imagery.
The author has attempted to include a bit of history with each chapter relating to the location - which is good, however, many historical aspects are not included. But, the book is not an historical account of Hitler, but rather a location guide to places Hitler used during his reign.
I'd rate the book as follows:
7/10 for information
9/10 for locations described (there are lots of them)
4/10 for ease of use (no map)
4/10 in regards to price
4/10 in regards to lack of photographs
