“A hundred years from today, historians will examine with horror the orders that the German High Command drew up so calmly and methodically, with true Germanic precision, and issued to the commanders of air force wings and squadrons. Who wrote these orders? Wild beasts? Lunatics? Could these documents have been signed by the iron fingers of integrating instruments and calculating machines?”

I know he isn’t trying to be funny by AK has been unexpected hilarious in a very dry, “human behavior is very absurd” kind of way

A surprisingly controversial opinion but having background knowledge of politics, philosophy, and history actually makes classic 1000x more enjoyable and fascinating

Hastings always give me a reality check about WWII heroism

I guess I am giving this book a 5/5 this time (third times the charm). Why? The first two times I get into the last two-third’s of the novel I thought Anna to be a delusional clown. Now I just shake my head sadly and mutter ‘you stupid bitch’ under my breath. I want to shake some sense into her. The intro to this edition gave me a completely new perspective to read the book and I am forever grateful for that.

"I became evil for no reason. I had no motive for my wickedness except wickedness itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved the self-destruction, I loved my fall, not the object for which I had fallen but my fall itself. My depraved soul leaped down from your firmament to ruin. I was seeking not to gain anything by shameful means, but shame for its own sake."

"They were enraptured with being told whom to hate, what to think, and when to cheer."

I wasn’t expecting the lesson on sentence structure but his argument reminded of the necessity for clarity of language both in syntax and diction.

This is so funny

Two reads later and I STILL don’t care about this horse race
