A wonderful 'find' of a book, surprisingly fascinating, a collection of book reports/reviews which just happen to include a bunch I've just read, want to read, read long ago and found interesting. Or the reviews are interesting and informative enough that I don't actually have to read the book at all and since the time I have left on my perch is limited..that has become of value to me. her choice of so many political books is not surprising nor her German-centric slant - what was interesting show more to me was how well written the essays were...enough to almost sway me to her point of view or at least question my own historical view/knowledge. With Trump's current climate of rigging, spying, spamming, hacking and racism spreading wide bringing to mind the lead up to Nazi Germany - the parallels are frightening. Then she goes on to character portraits of so many people whose lives I have been interested in for a long time and since I had no idea what to expect when I bought the book it feels like I won the lottery. This is definitely a book to be reread as soon as possible. show less

This book was interesting as it gives a different point of view to most I have read in my life.

Hmmmm. Not impressed with the person who did the indexing.
