Dan Carlin's Book Recommendations

"The many scenarios involving nuclear war, Including the 'escalation' and 'brinksmanship' options are key here."

"It’s great. Also check out his other fantastic book “The Wizards of Armageddon” which details the attempts to get great intelligences together to try to formulate how to deal with these unbelievably powerful weapons. @fmkaplan"

"Anthropologist Melissa Darby’s book “Thunder Go North” is a must for anyone into Sir Francis Drake (and who has doubts about the traditional narrative of where he landed on the North American West Coast). Did he land in Oregon?"

"@D555555D I should've known this would provide some fun conversation!😂 I already answered someone else in a little more depth so I'm just gonna post this wonderful book on the subject."

"@ironlordthemad @greg_scotland @mikeduncan it's a good book! You should pick it up."

"@crumlett @nocomply_larry I'm an MC5 fan too. Enjoyed Wayne Kramer's book (and finished re-reading it just last week...)"

"@FlashCadillac I loved that book."

"Isn't that book amazing? Hard to filter out the "Speer as the good Nazi" aspect of it though. You just have to be suspicious the whole time and take the revelations where you can find them."

"@Tony2pointO Has he read "Storm of Steel" By Ernst Junger? It's not very pricy though...you might look a bit cheap (but it's an awesome read)."

"@ferdia440 @BrunoLlorente2 @lotofsnow @HistoryTime_ that's a great book (and he was a hell of an interesting human being)."

"@scotmelv @normanohler another book that makes you see the war in a new light is Tooze's"The wages of destruction".Not easy read,but great"

"[The author]'s trying to bring you back to reality about who [Alexander] was and what he did."

"97% of it is bunk. But what's interesting is the part that might not be."

"Played upon these tantalizing little legends that seem to suggest that man has had contact with higher beings."

"Tries to suggest that Greeks as we know them now were not the people that existed in Plato, and Artistophenes, and Socrates' times, but that those folks had a Black African component to them."

"War transformed those idyllic pre-1914 ideas into reality, that war wasn't heroic. [This book] is one example. "

"The author is helping you to see what they all learned from this terrible conflict. "

"Good [book]. "

"Good [book]. "

"I didn't agree with any of it. "

"The reason you don't read The Storm of Steel in highschool is because [the author] made the critical mistake, from a literary standpoint, of feeling like he got something out of [World War I]."

"About this whole way of thinking that the Nazis had, and it was like a religion."
