Just finished reading The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy, by Adam Tooze A fascinating look at the Nazi war economy that dispels a lot of the economic myths that surround the German war economy and exposes the economic reasoning behind some of Hitler's more odd military decisions. I should warn you though it can get a bit heavy on the economics at times but its still an absolutely brilliant need if you want to know how the Germans organised their wartime economy.

just finished reading Eichmann In Jerusalem which was an absolutely amazing look at one of the key figures in the Holocaust who was put on trial and arrested by the Israeli government in 1961. Eichmann comes across as a man who was neither amoral super genius or stereotypical kicks puppies and burns orphanages nazi monster but who was instead just a normal sane individual doing a job that resulted in nothing but horror and mass murder on a massive scale. Anyway while I am still interested in the topic can anyone recommend a good book that goes into detail on how the bureaucratic side of the holocaust was organised?

Can anyone recommend any good books on Polish History? I'm interested in finding out how one of Medieval Europes superpowers became such an economic and political basket-case by the time of the partitions.

Minenfeld! posted:Can anyone recommend a book that discusses the various schools of historical thought? I'm looking for an overview of how historiography and different schools of thought have changed over time. The classic work we used at university is What is History? by E.H Carr. Which talks about the then popular schools of historiography but it's 50 years old now and pretty dry for the non academic reader and maybe someone can recommend something a little bit more up to date?

Can anyone recommend a good history of the Templars and/or the other great military orders? It occurred to me I don't know all that much about them.

Where's a good place to start to read up on the Hussites? They came up in a discussion and I realised I knew absolutely nothing about them.

Are there any good books out there on Operation Dragoon? It came up during a discussion about WWII and I realised I knew next to nothing about it. It for obvious reasons tends to get overshadowed by D-Day and treated a sideshow.
