There is an incredible amount of detail here and a good job is done of showing how someone could become one of the most reviled people in history. The book has documents from Hoss where he tries to downplay his involvement in what happened at the same time as admitting that some atrocities happened describing power struggles between him and fellow SS members. It is chilling that he mentions the building of the gas chambers matter of factly and seems to view what he has done as just following orders. This is fascinating and harrowing.

An interesting set of short stories about the lawmen of the Wild West. The stories were great and held my interest. I learned facts about these individuals that I never knew. If your into true crime or history, this is the book for you.

This is a very interesting and informative little tome.. I knew that there were accidents during the building of the ship, but did not know that eight men died during the building process of the Titanic in the Harland & Wolfe shipyard. I also found fascinating how the firemen/stokers and trimmers kept the ship moving and loaded with coal even after she was mortally damaged. I have seen the movie about the heroic firemen, etc., that kept the lights on as the Titanic went down. Absolutely wonderfully done! And the musicians. There is an extensive listing of some of those who survived that awful night, and those who didn't. It talks about their histories, where they came from and a little about their families. This is followed by a description of how the press handled the emergency/disaster, and an extensive bibliography for those who would like to further explore the subject. And pictures! With captions! All in all, this is a good book, told in clear and concise style. It covers aspects.. Read more
