[unmerged(579)]

Because I'm a procrastinator and a proud one , I have forgotten to do a book review for my European History class. I have read all these books ,but also had to get someone to discuss the book with. Which I have not done. Don't feel obligated to do something ,as I will make up an imaginary person, if I don't recieve any thing.


Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by Willam Shirer

The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman

The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer
These are good books for the history buff person, but unfortunely my previous attempts to communicate in a chat room about these were stifled by cross-gendering horny 14-year old boys.

I've read the Rise and Fall of 3rd Reich.. In high school... that book got me interested in history, really.

Any particular questions?

I've read "Rise and Fall of the TR" and "Guns of August". Both give you a great overview to WWII and I. Another excellent book is "Enemy at the Gates" by William Craig. Don't let the movie fool you. It's based on a very small segment of the book with a ton of fiction thrown in as well. For those of you unfamiliar with it, it is a detailed account of the battle of Stalingrad.

One of my all time favorites!!!

I read "The Forgotten Soldier" by Guy Sajer. It was some time ago, but I still remember much of it. I thought it an excellent book on what the German soldier faced in WW2.

Amnong the most vivid parts were the descriptions of how they suffered in the winter cold and snow.

some books

Books:

a) "Verdun. Das Große Gericht" (Verdun. The big curt) by Eppinghofer: It's about the battle of Verdun. A view about the German and the French site. Realy good to read. Eppinghofer was a German member of this battle.

b) "Endkampf an der Oderfront. Erinnerungen an Halbe" by Günther G.Führling: He is a member of the final-fight of the 9th german-army at halbe, near the river oder and in front of berlin. It's the Stalingrad of the 9th german-army.

c) "Preussens Herrscher" (Prussian Monarchs) by Frank-Lothar Kroll: Here you find all Prussian Monarchs since Friedrich I. (1415) up to Wilhelm II. (1918).

Cesare, I read The Forgotten Soldier. I was amazed/shocked at what the Eastern Front soldiers experienced, especially during the long withdrawal from 42 onwards.
