Another book on one of the most iconic figures of our modern times.
I use the word iconic loosely.
Nothing new in that summary to be honest.
Years ago i dedicated a lot of time to modern history, in particular the German involvement in WW2 and its political heads and and everything else inbetween.
Seriously, history books, articles and other forms of media can only be regurgitated so many times before it becomes old news.
Historians copying each other's material, just writing it differently, then releasing that same material, over and over and over again.
Hoping that some sucker out there will buy their supposedly ground-breaking and refreshing analysis of something that happened in WW2.
I gave up years ago doing that, and am not a sucker anymore, thank goodness.
