  A short summary of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich: How evil entered the world in Germany, and how it was finally destroyed.

Questions to ponder while reading the book: Do you believe in a master race? Are you anti-Semitic? My review of the book: The history of a very dark period. Well researched and written. A reminder that we should never forget and to always pay attention. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, writer, and photographer currently living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like...

  A short summary of Night Road: The sad story of three students and the night that changed their lives. My favorite quote from the book: "Love is a choice you make." Questions to ponder while reading: Does income assure stability? How do you respond to pain? My review of the book: Sad, oh so sad. Lots of (maybe too much?) description. Jude's actions really upset me.  She really should have gotten help. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, writer, and photographer currently living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
