The crowd test of Aunt Zhang obtained this time was not expected to be Kindl's e-book horizontal review. Bold guess, will not be Zhang Aunt also data screening, see I wrote my own purchase of Kindle equipment posting list and then comprehensive evaluation to select it, right? No matter how much, since you have been selected for the crowd test, then it is good to write and evaluate well.
Kindle equipment here is not to talk about, this thing is bad to dry the street, they have also been specially sunburned. Or cut directly to the subject, storytelling.
This time I found a few books with serious themes, and the price is not very expensive, as a reference for history lovers, it is worth spending this money to read. So what are the books? What is involved? And look at the breakdown below.
1. A brief history of the Wars of the Roses
The book tells the history of the Wars of the Roses, which actually refers to a civil war that lasted thirty years for the British throne. The two sides of the Civil War were also the Lancastrian and York families of the great nobility, because the coats of arms of both families were marked with roses, red roses and white roses, so the civil war over the British throne was called the War of Roses. Both of these families are one of the branches of the Jinhuaque royal family, which can also be regarded as infighting in the royal family. In the end, after 30 years of fighting, the Lancastrian family prevailed, and the end of the civil war ended with Henry VII of the Lancastrian family marrying Elizabeth of the York family, unifying the two branches of the royal family. The Plantagenet dynasty ended here, and the Tudor dynasty began. To extend the topic, the current British royal family has little to do with that time, and currently belongs to the Windsor royal family, and in fact, part of the blood source of this British royal family is Germany, that is to say, a group of Germans are of German blood in the British royal family. Including Queen Victoria, a contemporary of Galeries Lafayette, her mother was a princess of Saxony-Coburg-Saalfeld, pureLy German. Because of the blood relationship, George V during the First World War also had a German cousin, that is, Kaiser Wilhelm II, because of this, the British royal family is not less criticized, a group of Germans in the British royal family, to 1917, in order to comply with the will of the people, the British king issued a statement, with the British style of Windsor as the royal family name, canceled the previous set of Duiz-style titles, otherwise the British royal family you see today is not a Windsor dynasty, but the Saxony Coburg Gotha dynasty, the surname standard German. The history of Britain is also very complicated, and this book can give you a general understanding of the history of this period of civil war. In addition, this civil war, which lasted for 30 years, the nobles were seriously injured, there were many casualties, and foreigners were strange, including in the First World War, the officers who rushed to the front of the army were the sons of the nobles, rather than sitting in the warm rear remote control. Maybe this is the so-called aristocratic chivalry of the West... The differences between Eastern and Western cultures are more straightforward here.
2. Diary of a Desperate Man: Political and Social Life in Nazi Germany
The original source of the book was actually an anti-Nazi document within Nazi Germany. The original source author eventually died in the Dachau concentration camp a few months before the end of World War II. The author is Friedrich Lake, a social circle celebrity and artist from a wealthy family of East Prussian landlords. He was also a cultural pessimist, and the book contained diaries from the Nazis to power until a month before his death. From the microscopic perspective of an ordinary person, it documents the repressive life and cultural imprisonment that began when the Nazis came to power. Look at the historical events that occurred at that time from the perspective of a bystander + experiencer. The author was arrested before the defeat of Germany, still gave the Gestapo, was sent to a concentration camp, and then there was no more... This book has turned a few pages, and I feel very suitable for some of the current Desan NC fans to take a good look, Desan is not as beautiful as they fantasize, nor is it as clean and efficient as they fantasize. However, for people who only like that they are willing to believe that Tokusan is very beautiful, this book has the same effect as reading and not watching. The author is a representative of the conservative forces, but he is not anti-Semitic, and even has many Jewish friends, which is not a small difference from many Germans who oppose moustaches, and his views can be seen from the article, he thinks that the Austrian will sooner or later lead Germany into the ditch, but there are very few such people. This book is very recommendable ~ ~ ~
3. The Man Who Came Back Alive: The History of an Ordinary Japanese Soldier's Life in World War II and After the War
The book comes from the famous Ideal Guowen Series (there are several Ideal Guowen Series that seem to be no longer found on the market, for unknown reasons), and the author expounds his views on the war by writing about the life course of a Japanese soldier spanning ninety years. In fact, it is written about the author's father. The sitting father was conscripted into northeastern China when he was 19 years old, at a time when Japan's defeat was already decided. In the end, Japan was defeated and sent to a Siberian prisoner-of-war camp, worked as a coolie for several years, and luckily returned to Japan alive. At this time, it has become a social disconnection person, the person who is not needed in society, step by step from the lowest level, during the 25-30 years old, because of overwork and other reasons, seriously ill, until the age of 30 to return to society, little by little to climb up, at least it is OKAY. (At this time, it was a period of rapid economic development in Japan, and this historical background was also related) When he became an elderly person, he became a plaintiff, and sued the Japanese government that recruited himself to the front line in the past. The entire book is the author's history of the twentieth century through his father's life experience. This topic is not easy to talk about in depth, interested in or buy it yourself, I recommend these books are not randomly recommended. 
4. The Brezhnev era
The book one is cheap, for as little as five bucks. The other is to combine the Soviet jokes posted on a forum in the early years of the past, Brezhnev is Khrushchev's successor, in the Brezhnev period, the Soviet Union's national strength reached its peak, competing with the United States, and even the United States was still at a certain stage. But was the Soviet Union under Brezhnev really that good? The answer is no, at that time, the Soviet Union's national strength reached its peak, largely dependent on the high oil prices caused by the energy crisis, and when the crisis was over, the Soviet Union, which ate grain and overdrew a lot of energy, began to decline. And The Soviet society of brezhnev's time was virtually stagnant. A lot of financial resources for the priority development of armaments, and the United States to carry out an arms race, but in the field of people's livelihood, but the progress is slow, the entire Soviet Union's heavy industry, heavy military industry, and finally let the economy is already at the foot of the heavy industry light agriculture and light industry more magnified, until the end of the Soviet Union, want to buy a food, just queue you may not be able to buy, this is the news photos at the time to support, Moscow's shops are empty shelves and queues of people. Speaking of off-topic stories, the Brezhnev period was also the climax of the War in Afghanistan, and even the logistics equipment of the army on the front line could not be guaranteed, and the logistics equipment provided to the front line was either impractical and durable, the quality was extremely poor, and some of them were even in short supply. After the battle with the guerrillas on the front line, the soldiers even picked up the fallen Afghan guerrillas, and found that the captured guerrillas used first-aid drugs that were better and lighter than those equipped by the Soviets, that the kits distributed by the guerrillas were better than those of the Soviets themselves, and that even the underwear and underwear of the warm suits were better than those distributed by the Soviets. These problems remained unresolved until Afghanistan withdrew. From this point, we can also see the beginning. There was also a more sensational caviar can incident during this period, and a KGB staff member bought something and accidentally found out how the canned fish bought was caviar, which caused a sensation, not much to say, this is a relevant historical document. In general, it can be seen from the contents of the book what was behind the so-called seemingly powerful Soviet Union during the Brezhnev era.
5. Traces: 25 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall
Quest for The Lost: 25 Years After the Fall of the Berlin Wall (a book crosses Berlin, a wall inscribes memories; crossover prolific writers take you to a long walk, and 325 photographs are broadcast live.) 2.99 yuan
It is estimated that the younger group of people now do not know much about this Berlin Wall, and our group of post-80s generations has just caught up with the key nodes in the development of world history, the end of the Cold War, the drastic changes in Eastern Europe, the collapse of the glass wall, the reunification of Germany and the collapse of the Soviet Union, and it is still a rich experience. Before finding the globe of the previous home at home, the location of Russia on it is still written in the Soviet Union, while Germany is still two, there is no Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, etc., or Yugoslavia, even Yemen is two, South Yemen also exists. Think about how the world changes really fast. The book contains many photographs of the remains of East Germany from the time of the Berlin Wall, and the stories are told with the photos. The birth of East Germany came from the contradictions and distribution of interests between the East and the West after the end of World War II, and the eventual demise was also a change in the pattern of the Cold War, which made it lose its value of existence, especially for the Soviet Union that supported East Germany, without the support of the Soviet Union, East Germany could not continue to exist even if it wanted to. As for the full name of the Berlin Wall, Antifaschistischer Schutzwall, Chinese meaning can be checked for yourself. As for the fall of the Berlin Wall as a historical inevitability, although the form of realization was a "wrong order with ambiguity" by Shabowski, the head of East Berlin at that time, as to whether this "wrong order" that led to the domino effect was unintentional or intentional, I am afraid that only the parties themselves knew, after all, East Germany at that time was already in a state of turmoil, and they had to leave a way back for themselves. There are still quite a lot of historical allusions in the book that combine the relevant places and photos, and the book that is interested in studying history is still worthy of income, and I look at it from time to time. There are still relatively few books on East Germany in China.
6. One of the most dangerous books: Tacitus's Germania – From the Roman Empire to the Third Reich
One of the most dangerous books: Tacitus's Germania – From the Roman Empire to the Third Reich (with a translation of the Germania) 4.99 yuan
This book is an interpretation of Tacitus' Germania. Tacitus, the famous historian of ancient Rome, may not have been impressed if he had just said his name. But when it comes to the "Tacitus Trap" that he named, it is estimated that many people will remember it. The most straightforward explanation of the Tacitus trap is that if a person loses credibility and becomes the object of everyone's disgust, no matter what he does, everyone thinks that he is wrong, no matter what he says, everyone thinks that he is telling a lie, even if it is the truth. To paraphrase the Chinese fable story, a bit of the meaning of the wolf coming, shouting that more wolves are coming, and when the wolves really come, everyone also thinks that the children are lying.
The book focuses on the short-lived Germania of Tacitus, why it ended up becoming a Nazi spiritual totem, used to instill in the Germans of the time what Germany was a Germanic country, and so on. And how it was taken out of context and used to package the legitimate legitimacy of the so-called Greater Germania. A short historical book, can be packaged by a group of people to advocate the supremacy of the Germans, the construction of the spiritual totem of Greater Germania, carefully think about the details and process, it is indeed very scary, the author is more through the elaboration of this aspect, to achieve a warning purpose. The side also said a problem, no matter what the text, through the interpretation of the meaning of the context, it is completely possible to make it evolve towards the meaning you want, the focus is on how you want to see.
7. The Old System and the Great Revolution
The old system and the Great Revolution 3 yuan
This book is included in the library, completely out of a hobby with osaka Obasans, free ~ prime members are currently free, in fact, I am not too interested in the history of the French Revolution, out of subjectively there is no good impression of France. However, the temptation of holding free could not resist, or received. However, the quality of this book still exceeded his expectations and received it correctly. The author fully elaborates on the causes and consequences of the French Revolution, exposing the underlying links between the old system and the Revolution. After reading most of the article, I found a question expounded by the author, whether the small-scale tinkering reform and reform of the feudal society of the French monarchy accelerated the outbreak of the Great Revolution, that is, brought it ahead of schedule. If combined with the nineteenth-century Western affairs movement to the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, I feel that the theory expounded by the author seems to be correct, precisely because the rise of the western affairs movement is a limited improvement of the society in the Qing Dynasty, and gradually increased communication with the world, but it promoted the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution later. This book has not been read, but continue to read, the author's theoretical knowledge and logic is indeed strong enough, plus the level of translators is also very high, free does not mean poor quality, this book light Central Asia kindle e-book has several publishing houses of different translators of the version, overall look at other versions preview, this prime member free version is still quite good, recommended income.
History is a very worthy subject to study, and it requires patience to look at and study this aspect. I have been buying paper books in the early days, but it is really too much, with the kindle, you can save a lot of empty parts, the most important point, I feel that using the kindle to read books can also speed up the speed of reading, I am not referring to the kind of sloppy reading. It's good to be able to speed up, read more content and receive more knowledge in the same amount of time. The above are samples of the history books reviewed this time, in fact, there are many free and paid downloads in the kindle, but the space limit cannot be used in the future.
In general, if the financial conditions allow, it is recommended to buy a kindle, the kindle's library content is still very exciting, and there is a convenience that paper books do not have.
