Re: What Books Have You Read Recently?
A fair amount of material related to World War II:
Unit 731 by Peter Williams and David Wallace - An account of Japan's biological warfare program and how America let those responsible go free due to Cold War considerations.
Iwo Jima - Legacy of Valor by Bill D. Ross - An account of the horrific, heroic struggle for Iwo Jima.
The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer - The definitive account of the Nazi regime, its origins, its inner workings and its downfall. I found particularly fascinating the description of the ruthless, byzantine methods Hitler used to gain power.
