Review # 1 was written on 2017-02-21 00:00:00 Edward Fields This is quite an unpleasant read. Especially the first part which is terribly scholastic and dry. Yet I found myself turning page after page interested to find out more about the period and the aristocrat view of the beggar. So far I could find a striking resemblance between the current European refugee crisis and the Jewish situation back in 1938-1939 when the self-named free and free thinking world could not give a damn about some refugees. Maybe 12 months ago I would have found this book simply dry and scholastic. Yet today I could not help finding how entire passages are repeated verbatim by the French politicians from the whole spectrum when it comes to the people of Syria and Iraq coming by foot in their countries. The same hysteric fears. The same scientism and naturism to justify a petty racist and xenophobic agenda. Suddenly 400 years of political change are turned into plain propaganda. Sure, we have hot tap water. But only the good servants of the king that pay taxes. In prisons there is only cold water and open toilets. Thank you for spending the time to write this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-18 00:00:00 Tom Monasmith Jr I AM DYING OF LOLS. This book is so awful it passes back into "good"-- though your mileage may vary, of course. This is the mother of all terrible conspiracy theory books, combining many smaller conspiracies into one enormous Nazi-driven plot, as though all the Nazis of history managed to party down with the evil fictional Nazis that hunted Indiana Jones, Captain America, and the Basterds, and those vampire Nazi legions of Hellsing infamy. Roswell and UFOs? Mulder, it was Nazis. Water fluoridation? Sorry General Ripper, it wasn't Commies; it was Nazis. JFK's assassination? Nazis. Shoddy public education? Nazis. Fat Man and Little Boy and the bombing of Japan? Nazis. Planned Parenthood? Nazis. Big Pharma? Nazis. NASA? Nazis. The Cold War? Nazis. Al-Qaeda? Nazis. 9/11? All the conspiracies are true! Also? Nazis. The Bush family? Totally had ties to Nazis...and so did/does Hillary Clinton, Jerry Falwell, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Etc. Etc. Etc. I SWEAR TO FREAKING JESUS I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. The author even finds ties between the organic food movement and Paul Wellstone's plane crash and the freaking Nazis. He blamed so much shit on the Nazis I can't even remember it all...but it basically boiled down to everything. Everything is because of/tied to/developed by/funded by the Nazis. My answer for everything from now until I stop finding it hilarious (which will be...um, never) is going to be, "Nazis." The books swings between points that might be able to be taken seriously-- such as discussing both the Vatican's and various American corporations' investments in Nazi Germany, which is a valid point mentioned in many other, much more serious and well-researched books-- to claiming outrageously wild and just plain kooky things like that the Nazis found King Solomon's treasure, developed antigravity tech in the 1940s, and are currently making tons of money off of the tobacco industry despite the fact that Nazis were (according to the author) very anti-tobacco. You could drive rockets through the logical holes littering this book and it's stupid claims. And I seriously cannot believe that so many Goodreads readers take this shit seriously. My faith in humanity has taken a crippling blow. Logical? No. Based in reality? Not really. Impractically awesome and hilarious as a Wile E. Coyote skit? Fuck yeah! Read it for the LULZ, kids.
