Reviews

Quantum of Solace by Ian Fleming

The best of Ian Fleming’s work inspired a generation of espionage writers, but sadly, not these stories. [14 November 2008]

Life and Death in the Third Reich by Peter Fritzsche

Fritzsche shows the systematic breakdown and reshaping of a society, which in part paved the way for the Holocaust. [2 September 2008]

Eldorado

This tries to capitalize on the topicality of European illegal immigration, but ends up a pedestrian effort at putting a face on the multitudes that wash up on the continent’s shores each year. [17 July 2008]

Ghettostadt by Gordon J. Horwitz

The book is exhaustively researched and while that’s admirable, it's done at the expense of a narrative momentum for an important story that might otherwise appeal to the layperson. [17 June 2008]

AK47 by Michael Hodges

A tour across decades and through some of the planet’s worst hellholes to chronicle the impact of the AK47. [19 May 2008]
