I thought it better to continue here rather than on the BNP talk page. I didn't think you were accusing me, but I wasn't sure, so thanks for clarifying that. As to who won the war, I think it would be a bit more accurate to say it was won with American cash and Russian lives! As a history student, you might consider this question: Which WW2 country or countries had the highest paid a) privates b) generals? Answer below. |

Far be it from me to recommend books to an 18 year old - most of my learning was done many years ago and the books I have are quite old! I left university in 1973. |
|||
:On Hitler, Bullock is THE authority, though I remember finding it rather tedious. |
|||
:On Nazi war crimes, Lord Russell of Liverpool's ''The Scourge of the Swastika'' (1954) is brilliant |
|||
:On the history of fascism in Britain, I can thoroughly recommend Robert Benewick ''The Fascist Movement in Britain'', (1961). |
|||
:''Resistance in Europe: 1939-45'' edited by Stephen Hawes & Ralph White (1975) does what it says on the cover |
|||
:For a perspective from the left, and contemporary with Hitler, Trostsky's ''On Fascism'' is good. |
|||
All rather old I'm afraid and I suspect some may be out of print, but that's what libraries are for. Two more recent books I recommended on the BNP page are Michael Mann: ''Fascists'' and Robert Paxton: ''The Anatomy of Fascism''. |
|||
Good luck with your studies. I know that reading around subjects is important and there's never enough time, but if you're really interested I know you'll do it. |
