Reading three thing right now:
The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economyby Adam Tooze
This is one of the most interesting and original books on the THird Reich and WW2 that I've ever read. Astonishing to realize how little chance Germany ever had to win the war - not much more chance than Japan really.
Battle Line: The United States Navy 1919-1939 by Thomas C and Trent Hone
A very interesting book but not quite what I was expecting. I was looking for more of a technical and institutional history. This book is more general than that. Still worthwhile, however.
The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers by Paul Kennedy
This is an older book that I constantly see referred to when reading things relating to the ideas of ***uyama and Huntington. Thought I'd better get round to reading it. Only just started.
