Sachin=GOD Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I started The rise and Fall of Third reich by William Schirrer a long time ago. Havent completed it yet. Its a brilliant book. I also took a looong time to read it. I've been planning to read the Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire for 2-3 years but every time I open the 1st page of the 1st book in the series, it feels like I'm going to sleep any moment :phehehe: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all of Hitler's evil, I still prefer an objective view of History. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Its great but biased against Hitler. For all of Hitler's evil' date=' I still prefer an objective view of History.[/quote'] well, there are not many books on WW2 which are completely unbiased. You can go for "A World at Arms by By Gerhard Weinberg" - its a very good book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravishingravi Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Its great but biased against Hitler.

ganeshran Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Objectivity is highly overrated and imo non existent commodity esp. when it comes to History or biography. A certain element of bias is always present, but a book should atleast try to be objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchemist Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 A book called "Hitler" is by far one of the most unbiased books on Hitler I have read. I don't know the original author. It talks a lot about his child hood which shaped him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It talks a lot about his child hood which shaped him. Ian Kershaw is the author IIRC. I've read that book and IMO its one of the best biographies ever.

akshayxyz Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just started "Red - autobiography of Gary Neville" Just checked his age.. he is just 1975 born! isn't he too young to write an auto-biography! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Just checked his age.. he is just 1975 born! isn't he too young to write an auto-biography! he retired a few months ago and most sports persons write an autobiography immediately after retirement because usually its only for a few months/years after retirement that the public is really interested in them.
