Historians, military tacticians, and psychologists have tried in vain to unravel his complex motivations for leading Germany into the Holocaust and World War II. With \u003ci\u003eShigeru Mizuki's Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e, the manga-ka (\u003ci\u003eKitaro\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNonNonba\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eShowa: A History of Japan\u003c\/i\u003e) delves deep into the history books to create an absorbing and eloquent portrait of Hitler's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeginning with Hitler's time in Austria as a starving art student and ending with a Germany in ruins, \u003ci\u003eShigeru Mizuki's Hitler\u003c\/i\u003e retraces the path Hitler took in life, coolly examining his charismatic appeal and his calculated political maneuvering. The Munich Beer Putsch, Hitler's ascent to chancellor, the sudden death of his half-niece Geli, the Battle of Stalingrad, his relationship with Eva Braun, and his eventual demise: all are given equal attention in this thorough and compelling biography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Mizuki's signature style, which populates incredibly realistic backgrounds with cartoony people, Japan's most famous living cartoonist has created an overview of Hitler's life that is as fascinating as it is informative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eShigeru Mizuki\u003c\/b\u003e (1922–2015) was one of Japan’s most respected artists. A creative prodigy, he lost an arm in World War II. After the war, Mizuki became one of the founders of Japan’s latest craze—manga. He invented the \u003ci\u003eyokai \u003c\/i\u003egenre with GeGeGe no Kitaro, his most famous character, who has been adapted for the screen several times, as anime, live action, and video games. In fact, a new anime series has been made every decade since 1968, capturing the imaginations of generations of Japanese children. A researcher of yokai and a real-life ghost hunter, Mizuki traveled to over sixty countries to engage in fieldwork based on spirit folklore. In his hometown of Sakaiminato, one can find Shigeru Mizuki Road, a street decorated with bronze statues of his Kitaro characters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46959904161953,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781770462106","price":33.2,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781770462106.jpg?v=1788336391","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/shigeru-mizuki-s-hitler-paperback-by-shigeru-mizuki","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
