A temple with the traditional angel-tipped spire stands on a little juniper-covered hill in the northeastern Arizona town of Snowflake as a testament to the hard work and sacrifices of early Mormon pioneers. These ranching and farming families, sent from fruitful Utah to colonize a land only marginally suitable for farming, became experts in irrigation as they struggled to utilize the waters of Silver Creek and the Little Colorado River. Through sheer determination, they turned alluvium into verdant fields, and the surrounding well-drained Great Basin Desert Shrub became their pastures. But their religion and their families were always the main focus. Today the growing communities of Snowflake, Taylor, and Shumway attract new residents and visitors alike with the beauty of their natural setting, mild yet distinct seasons, and hometown charm. Many historic pioneer-era buildings have been restored to honor the area’s unique past.

The one person at whose feet the blame for both the Holocaust and World War II can be laid is Adolf Hitler. Readers will learn how Hitler rose to power and the horrific ways that he made use of that power once he had accumulated it. This biography discusses Hitlers role in the so-called Final Solution and also touches on the impact Hitler still has today. It offers a wealth of detail about the various stages of the Fhrers life and examines the influence he had on both those in his inner circle and the German public at large. Understanding a despicable person may not be inspiring, but that does not mean its not worthwhile.
