Great easy read that breaks down this complex history in a readable format using all the tools at the Historians disposal at the Holocaust Museum. Will's book is wonderful and I am not just saying that because he is a friend! Its true!

This is an excellent book. my only complaint is that the font is a little too small. i wish the book would have been published in a larger format.
The apple never falls very far from the tree. Its a documented fact that Hitler was more than impressed with the British SOE and American OSS. Hitler also modeled and admired Mussolini's actions in the 20's - including the adoption of Brown Shirts. The formulation of Hitler's ideology was born over time and matured - this book shows some of that history of development. When reading other books - like the the history of Pogroms in Europe, Nero;s Files, the Skorzeny Papers, Special Operations during WW II or declassed documents like NSC Directive/Order 10/2 it is extraordinary how similar the themes are from before the time of the Maccabee's to present/
1. It is exceptionally easy to earmark an enemy of the state
2. It is always easy to pick a scapegoat
3. in times of economic turbulence and social unrest from political dissatisfaction its easy to develop strategies of divisiveness and pick a scapegoat.
4. The History of Humanity is one of perpetual power plays with small periods of rest - not peace - just quietness. it is the calm building before the storm
5. Every Ideology is based on "education" and then "re-educating the non conformists"
6. The deliberate perversion of words and errors omissions to support ideological travesty
7. The use of Lawfare and the legal system to legitimize the ideology and the travesty of its punishments.
