Nineteenth Century Premiers: Pitt to Rosebery
Una lettura pesantuccia. Il libro è il seguito del precedente romanzo dell'autore "L'ascesa di A. Hitler" e inizia nel 33. E' molto fitto di particolari e date , spesso ritorna indietro, ed è per questo una lettura pesante. Dopo un pò si familiarizza (per chi è ignorante in storia) con molti nomi di generali e la lettura è più scorrevole. E' interessante conoscere le dinamiche che portarono al potere Hitler e la poca ostruzione che poterono fare le figure poliche e militari del tempo. Anche il ruolo di "non decisione" preso da Francia e Inghilterra che portarono a tale catastrofe. Indubbiamente si può approfondire ancora, e quello che si studia a scuola è solo infarinatura.
