Dear Friends,
In the Netherlands and in other countries in Europe a translation of an already controversial, English book has been recently published; Thomas Weber’s "Hitler’s First War". These critical reviews in the printed media and even on the Dutch radio not only aroused my curiosity, but above all these reviews aroused my scepticism over the claims, which I read about in these pre-publications. These previews, in which historical scholars are simultaneously critical as well as they praise the book, were reason enough for me to read the book.
The arrival of Thomas Weber himself on 24 March this year at the Goethe Institute in Amsterdam for a lecture, obliged me to read the book a bit faster. Rather sceptical, I started my reading experience, but I finished excited.
So, also on request of some of my regular guests, I wrote down my reading experience of Weber’s book for you. As always; controversional or not, I only review books, which I consider worth a five star rating. This time I released a bilingual book review, Dutch and English, so please, click on: "Thomas Weber’s ”Hitler’s First War” .
Have a nice week, and thanks in advance for visiting my website again!
With regards,
Pierre
