New Hitler Bio

Post by :FI:COM » Tue Jan 20, 2009 8:09 pm

Gents-

I just began reading "Hitler" a biography written by British historian Ian Kershaw. The book is rather biblical; coming in at over 1,000 pages, but is probably the most accurate book to date, with new primary resource material. Heck, even the Germermans gave it high praise.

There's alot of speculation in regards to his relationship to Eva Braun, and his niece, with which he had an affair before her suicide.



Anybody reading anything?

Cheerz!

"He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."

Apart from that lots of Isaac Asimov, Arthur C.Clarke, Tad Williams...I have bout 45 books waiting to be read...

I would wonder where the news in the new Hitler biographie had come from. He's dead since `45 and it won't bring up any news at all I guess.
Speculations maybe but that won't bring any dead back at all.

If I'm reading, it's technical stuff or just a book, my brother gave me as a gift.
Before the last book I read was Flying Forts from Martin Caidin.

The Campbells made national news last month when a ShopRite supermarket refused to sell them a birthday cake with Adolf Hitler's name on it. The story generated a slew of angry Internet chatter.
Due to an accident at the bakery, a guy at work got a cake said: "Happy Birthday, Shithead!"

That's almost as bad, I guess.... :lol:
