Review:The most comprehensive and authoritative history to date of the beginning of German concentration camps in the 1930s until the end of the war in 1945. Describes how the camps evolved over time into factories for mass murder and the commandants, kapos, etc. kept the crematory fires burning.

This reader expects that Wachsmann's "KL" will become the standard work on this subject. Read more

Review:If this is accurate - and I challenge anyone to challenge Harry Cooper and his team of researchers othrwsie - it changes approaches to school education, conventional history teaching, government policy... for goodness sake one and all, wake up! Please buy and read and even write to your MP. Read more

Review:This was clearly a prejudiced book, written to prove a point. If you take that way, it was fine; if you are looking for a history, you won't find it. All the points are made and documented; but, even though I think many of the points are good, there was a lot more to the war than is presented or considered here. That said, he makes a good, solid case, and suggests some interesting interpretations.
Fun read for a chemist or other technical type. Read more

Review:This story is well written and keeps your attention. Needs to be a motion picture. Thank you France for helping the Allies as you did. As an American and lover of freedom, I now understand after reading this incredible story, that I have a debt of gratitude to the French. I highly recommend this book. Read more

Review:Fabulous ... A must read for anyone interested in cycling legends, interested in WW II history, the work of resistance fighters against the Nazis, and for those looking for a true definition of heroism. Read more

Review:The book was very detailed which was great but at times confusing. I noticed I was focusing on keeping all the names and places straight rather than what I was actually reading.still a great book though! Read more

Review:This book is spectacular, but advertised as containing audio version as well. The end of the book has a chapter called "Link to free audio recording of Seneca's Letters." The chapter just says "The Letters of Seneca," with no link. The text is not live either, so it's not like you touch it and it goes to the link in question. Read more

Review:This is classic McCullough -- especially good because McCullough's speech is recorded and we get McCullough himself. No historian, in my estimation quite compares with McCullough, especially his writing in his books in which he takes you into the narrative almost as a participant. He is five star in my estimation.

Review:Moorehead's accounting of the French resistance people, and especially the young women, is heart-breaking. It is hard to believe that the world went through such a horrible experience. The descriptions of the death camps by those who survived are not sugar-coated. Moorehead gives such detailed descriptions, as told by the women who lived through it, the reader fully grasps the horror. Read more

Review:The book arrived in perfect condition and I was impressed with the service from Amazon. Unfortunately I found the story line disappointing. At some points in the book her story contradicts itself and has grown to enormously ridiculous proportions. Having some first hand knowledge of the war theatre in which she sets herself I found many scenario questionable.
