Goebbels. Mastermind of the Third Reich
2007-05-29 10:38:00
Goebbels. Mast er mind of the Third Reich By David Irving As a memorial to his oldest daughter Josephine (1963-1999), David Irving invites you to accept his biography of Hitler’s propaganda minister Dr Joseph Goebbels, the first work to be based on the long-lost diaries of the minister which he retrieved from the former KGB archives in Moscow. From Publishers Weekly Goebbels. Mastermind of the Third Reich is a repellent book, and not only because of its subject. Irving (Goering) has been increasingly under fire for exploiting seemingly indefatigable research to distort history. In the book in hand, he uses enough pejoratives to sustain the illusion of objectivity regarding Hitler’s propaganda chief, yet suggests that the admittedly bad man had a cause not entirely bad in itself. Nazi brutality is almost always retaliation for the plots of international Jewry and the criminality of domestic Jews. Even the books notoriously burned are “decadent and anti-German.” ...

The War Between the Generals
2007-05-29 10:32:00
The War Between the Gene ra ls By David John Cawdell Irving A look inside the Allied high command. Some of their fiercest battles were fought against each other, but this was covered up. Not until David Irving began his research did the full truth emerge. Prepare to be surprised! David Irving’s “The War Between The Generals ” is an insightful piece of military history. Irving’s study follows the personalities and actions of most of the major Allied military leaders of the European Theater of Operations (ETO) - including both combat and COMZ generals - from the planning stages of Operation OVERLORD through the end of the war and occupation period. Beyond the generals Irving also mixes in their interactions with political leaders from Secretaries of War to the Big Three. In the end one can get a good feel for the Allied command structure and operation in the ETO and how personalities and nationalism affected the relationship between the partners and the function o...

What Is Strategy?
2007-05-29 10:27:00
" align="left" />What Is Stra tegy ? (HBR OnPoint Enhanced Edition) By Michael E. Porter, Harvard Business Review What Is Strategy? is one of the benchmarks in strategy and management thinking. Essential reading for managers at all levels. Today’s dynamic markets and technologies have called into question the sustainability of competitive advantage. Under pressure to improve productivity, quality, and speed, managers have embraced tools such as TQM, benchmarking, and reengineering. Dramatic operational improvements have resulted, but rarely have these gains translated into sustainable profitability. And gradually, the tools have taken the place of strategy. As managers push to improve on all fronts, they move further away from viable competitive positions. Michael Porter argues that operational effectiveness, although necessary to superior performance, is not sufficient, because its techniques are easy to imitate. In contrast, the essence of strategy is choosing a unique an...

The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker
2007-05-29 10:23:00
The Complete Cart oons of the New Yorker By Robert Mankoff, David Remnick The New Yorker ’s cartoons have a reputation for being slightly surreal and often inscrutable.

The New Yorker’s stable of current and former cartoonists includes many important names in American humour, including Charles Addams, Saul Steinberg, James Thurber, Charles Barsotti, Lee Lorenz, the aforementioned Roz Chast, Gahan Wilson, Robert Mankoff, P.

Nuremberg, the Last Battle
2007-05-28 05:19:00
Nuremberg, the Last Battle By David Irving (Author), Walter Frentz (Photographer) Nuremberg, the Last Battle is vintage Irving, bearing all the familiar hallmarks of the British historian’s skilled treatment of World War II: original research based on primary sources, vivid writing, and consideration for the German point of view, all with a defiant thumb to the nose to “court historians” and their “politically correct” adherents. Highly readable and troubling work - exposing the hypocrisy of the Allied leaders in their “noble” quest to exact justice at Nuremburg. The deep hate vengeful nature of Allied leaders Morgenthau, Churchill, Eisenhower and even Roosevelt are exposed in their full reality. From documented meeting discussions at Yalta, Tehran, Quebec and Washington - Irving reveals the underlying personal agendas of these men. From the Germanophobic vindictiveness of Henry Morganthau (who’s infamous “Morganthau Plan ”...

Homage to a Broken Man
2007-05-20 04:59:00
Homage to a Broken Man By Peter Mommsen The Life of J. Heinrich Arnold People who knew J. Heinrich Arnold (1913-1982) say they never met another person like him. Some speak of his humility, sensitivity, and compassion; others of his frankness and earthy humor. In his presence, complete strangers poured out their darkest secrets and left transformed. Others wanted him dead. Writer Henri Nouwen called him a “prophetic voice” and wrote of how his words “touched me as a double-edged sword, calling me to choose between truth and lies, selflessness and selfishness…Here was no pious, sentimental guide; every word came from his experience.” Few knew Arnold’s past, or could have imagined the crucibles he had endured. Until now. (more…)

A Testimony to Church Community
2007-05-20 04:35:00
A Test imony to Church Community By Eberhard Arnold For a concise, readable introduction to a man who, in his search for Christ, spent his life turning conventional Christianity on its head, this is a good place to start. Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) is relatively unknown today, yet his life’s work continues to bear fruit today as few lives have. In 1920, venturing into an unknown future—and leaving wealth, security, and a public speaking career—he moved with his wife Emmy from Berlin to a tiny village, where they started a small community on the basis of early church practices as described in the Book of Acts. A Testim ony to Church Community contains a biographical sketch, selections from his most important works, and brief memoirs by friends and colleagues. Although many other books by and about Eberhard Arnold have been published since this little volume first came out, it still brings back warm memories. The first time I read the book almost 30 years ago it rang so true ...

My Search
2007-05-20 04:20:00
My Search By Josef Ben-Eliezer In a world that is increasingly torn by violence, hatred, injustice and war, is there an answer to the need of humanity? Here is the story of one man who grappled with this question in an intensely personal way: growing up in Germany in a Jewish family under the shadow of the Nazis, forced into exile in Siberia, barely escaping with his life from starvation and disease in southern Asia, he finally made it to the land of Israel. Faced with the horror of the Holocaust, he was determined to fight for the independence of his new homeland. But the inhumanity of war continued to pursue him, along with the question: why cannot men and women live together in peace? This is a fascinating account of survival against all odds, but it is more than that – the story of one man’s search for the answers to the questions that in one way or other face us all. (more…)
