I am deeply disappointed by this book. Wendy Lower’s writing, as described by another reviewer, was certainly “pedestrian”. It is dry and full of minutiae. I completely understand wanting to share EVERYTHING I’ve learned about a topic because I’m excited to share. Ms. Lower’s writing was dull. She was writing a book on a facetContinue reading “Hitler’s Furies: So Disappointing”

The Pharmacist of Auschwitz, by Patricia Posner: Book Recommendation
This book is a dual story of the pharmacist, Victor Capesius, and the companies that helped the Nazis, most notably, I.G. Farben. And their aftermath. The book reads like fiction.

THE NUREMBERG TRIAL by Ann and John Tusa: BOOK RECOMMENDATION
I am listening to The Nuremberg Trial via Audible (and NO, this is NOT a sponsored video), written by Ann and John Tusa. Admittedly, I doubt I would read this. That said, I do enjoy listening to it. It’s fascinating material. Description (from Amazon/Audible): “Here is a gripping account of the major postwar trial ofContinue reading “THE NUREMBERG TRIAL by Ann and John Tusa: BOOK RECOMMENDATION”
