Backwash
Reviewed: 06-11-22
Complete backwash while it does have some merit it’s full of tangential garbage. You can’t compare autocracy and populism , left wing socialism is also populism and breeds violence and segregation.

Story
Authors Roger Manvell and Heinrich Fraenkel, notable biographers of the World War II German leaders Joseph Goebbels and Herman Goring, delve into the life of one of the most sinister, clever, and successful of all the Nazi leaders: Heinrich Himmler. As the head of the feared SS, Himler supervised the extermination of millions. Here is the story of how a seemingly ordinary boy grew into an obsessive and superstitious man who ventured into herbalism, astrology, and homeopathic medicine before finally turning to the “science” of racial purity and the belief in the superiority of the Aryan people.

It is rare to see a book so we’ll written from the opposite perspective. It is a fact of history that winners write history and all men think they are doing good for the future of humanity , regardless of how sinister that may appear.

Story
For much of his life, historian Howard Zinn chronicled American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version taught in schools - with its emphasis on great men in high places - to focus on the street, the home, and the workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of - and in the words of - America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers.

Communist propaganda but interesting

I’m a deep right wing man , but I enjoyed this perspective throughly. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that we have to understand other people’s point of view to be better argue our own points of view.

For the first time ever, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has produced an audio recording of all of Lovecraft's stories.

This collection spans his entire career from his earliest surviving works of childhood to stories completed shortly before his death. All tales include original music by HPLHS composer Troy Sterling Nies.

Story
For the first time in 65 years, a modern, easy to understand, truly complete and uncensored edition of Mein Kampf has been released which reveals more than any past translation. This is also the first translation available in an English language audio format. Older translations altered passages, omitted passages, mistranslated Hitler's words, and made some parts more sensational while concealing the true meaning in other parts of the book.

There is nothing in the world that can condone the holocaust. However , an insight into the human side of one of the world’s most notorious people has shined light on the fact that we are all righteous in our own minds and actions.
Thank you for the enlightenment.
