The Kaiser's Army: The Politics of Military Technology in Germany during the Machine Age, 1870-1918 Book

Amazing. Not only are the writing and the photographs superbly done, the author seems prescient in his take on the Lebanese war and its impact. In his first chapter he writes, "God Cried is not objective and could never have been". I appreciated that he didn't try to portray "both" sides or "ALL" sides, as it seemed in Lebanon's wars. People seem to forget that Lebanon's war in 1982 ceased to be a Civil War when Israel invaded and bombed the crap out of West Beirut for three months. This book is about that summer. His opinions on why Israel destroyed West Beirut that summer are a bit scary to read over 30 years later, just as the (third) Israeli invasion of Gaza (hopefully) comes to an end. This book will make you think. And cry.
