I was always interested in the history of Nazi Germany and I bought this book almost 8 years ago. This was one of my first history books written in English. However, only this month I began reading it when commuting to work in the morning. In two weeks I already finished more than 200 pages and I would say this is very interesting read about mass and party politics in general. Some people say in their reviews that this book has too may adjectives because it was written in 50s-60s just after the war but I would say that adjectives make this book a non-stop reading experience.

Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich

Being born and lived in Russia during Communist era I inherited the sense of heroic achievements of the Soviet Army during the battle for Berlin. One of my co-workers recommended me this book and I read it last summer. It really shows the other side of the this battle like disorganization and chaos on the Soviet front and horrors committed by them on German civilians. Since then I buy and read revisionist history books to see different or not officially approved views on the same historical and political events.

This is the very important book that warns about synergy between different chemicals that enter our bodies. It also shows the failure of reductionism in pharmacology and mainstream medicine and the danger of the so called synthetic paradigm. The book depicts various food and drug related fallacies. Highly recommended for reading and not to be paranoid but at least to be informed. At the time of this writing I’ve have finished 183 pages out of 257 pages of the main text. This is my lunch time reading these days :-)
