Current Events > Been reading my 3 German history books. Good stuff. Slightly disappointed, tho.

(+) Yeah! (+)

One is the Nazi reigme, the other two are general German history.

The reason I'm a little disappointed, is because in the general ones, there only seem to be maybe 10 or 20 pages on East Germany. Clearly it's an important part of history, but these authors don't seem to think so.

I won't deny, though, the Nazi book is really interesting. A proper academic book that doesn't try to be user friendly, with lots of information, and intelligently written. Quite a lot on the Weimar Republic, then the rest is basically the Nazi regime itself. Looking over different bits, I'm surprised at how little there seems to be on the Nuremberg Trials, which I think are a very important aspect of the history of Nazism, but it doesn't matter that much. It's not like, if nothing else, I haven't watched a 3 hour film on them.
