Re-Inventing History


Great read for all you war historians. Given to me as a gift, Hitler's War was written by an English Historian David Irving.

The book explored moves undertaken by both Germany and its allies (AXIS) during the 2nd World War. Interesting is the fact that the book conditions your mind to strategize with it. Gets? Something like a virtual reality although this one uses a book . Decisions that could have turned the war around in favor of the Axis and fatal mistakes committed by Germany which led to its defeat. Got so engrossed, I finished reading it in less than a week.

The book is all about strategy (I'm all about strategy), strategy which can actually be applied in today's world. The book does not justify Germany's cause to wage war but how it was conducted.

Lastly, my reading the book does not mean I'm a Nazi! hehe I am just your average joe who's facinated by Earthlings.
