That sounds very interesting, since I thought that the German people weren't nearly as gung-ho about the start of WWII as the were WWI. I would guess part of it was the economy.

I haven't finished it yet, but up until now it seems to be a complex mixture of adoration (and let's face it, they did adore him), fear of reprisals for the crimes that many (not just the top Nazis) had committed, fear of punishment by the Nazis themselves, fear of suffering atrocities at the hands of Soviet troops and the fact that the Allies had demanded Germany's unconditional surrender.
It will be interesting to see what he says about March/April 1945, when things became so absolutely obviously utterly hopeless.
I agree that the Germans weren't quite so delighted with the start of WWII as they were with the start of WWI, though, mind you, I think almost everyone in Europe thought WWI was a brillo idea, until the trench war began.

Great author. I've read about six of his books but that was over three years ago. I like his economic writing style.

If you don't want to read the final chapter ("The Last Word") because you think it ends badly, don't worry, it doesn't. Do it, K.K. Read it. Read it now, read it often. It's a way of life. Really. Trust me.

This is quite a commitment. I'm jumping in.

Good ol' Stan Lee recently turned 90 I like that he has made cameo appearances in every Marvel comics movie (possible exception: Ghost Rider)

Trying this one once again. A few years ago, I gave this a very earnest attempt and got about 250 pages in before I abondoned it for something a little less densely layered. Its been sitting among five other titles that have been started and yet to be finished. Also because I'm trying to save some money, this will keep me from purchasing any more books for a number of months. Hope to be more consistant with this and at least give it an hour a day until it is completed.

I just read an etiquette book for youngsters from 1955. And I wanted to share this quote:
"Prove your courteousness towards people of a different colour, people wearing different clothing or speaking differently (language or accent) with blank neutrality: no spying, talking about or laughing at. After all you can't help you walk on the good side of the fence in the zoo."
