What is your favourite book about World War II?
While not actually about World War II, Mein Kampf is one of the most important books dealing with the War – at least from the angle of understanding why it was the whole world was at war… again. http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/ has it on the net. It is a thought provoking and enlightening (although not enlightened) book that gives one a deep long look into the soul of the man who rose to power in the 1930’s, who was pressured or steered in his course of life due to the previous war, the treatment Germany received due to that war and in part the Great Depression. The World Wars are linked together with other events, the First may have happened at any rate, the second need not have happened at all. Part of that link lies within Mein Kampf, it lays the foundation for the war and all that took place thereafter.
