We are very pleased to welcome back guest-reviewer Sheryl Tongue:

If you have ever wondered why it is that Eurasians came to conquer most of the world, Guns, Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond will be a fascinating explanation.

A personal account of the most tumultuous episode in world history reviewed by a History & Philosophy graduate who writes for a sports blog. What a combination! Thanks to Alex Harris of Football, Forumla 1 & Festivities for this insightful review of Albert Speer's autobiography.

If there is a subject that has been covered more often, academically or culturally, than the Nazis, Hitler and World War Two, I cannot bring it to mind. There are countless books, films, television programmes and internet sites dedicated to one of the most violent, emotive and despicable chapters of human history. However, Inside the Third Reich has niche appeal since it comes from the unique perspective of Albert Speer, a man intimate with not only the inner workings of Hitler’s Germany, but with Adolf Hitler himself. Compiled from the memoirs Speer wrote whilst in prison this is a fascinating first-hand account.
