Book Reviews of Holocaust: A History

Book Review: Dry, Dry,Dry
Summary: 3 Stars

If you are looking for facts, this book is what you want.

I am a lifelong WWII history buff and I have read many, many books on this subject. I didn't think it was possible to write a boring book on the Holocaust. I was wrong. Dwork succeeded.

The facts are there, no question. In fact, you'll get an avalanche of factual information. But it's presented with about as much feeling and emotion as if the writer's subject was plastering a ceiling. It's hard reading and by the latter part of the book I was slogging through it and thinking longingly of the fascinating books on the Holocaust that grab you by the throat and don't let go. Not this one. I was glad to put it down.
