The History Group members found last Tuesday night’s book, 1923: The Crisis of German Democracy in The Year of Hitler’s Putsch, by Mark William Jones very informative about a little-known area of important history, but the author’s writing was not liked by the group. Additionally, everyone found the details surrounding the occupation of Germany by vengeful French and Belgium soldiers unpleasant and disturbing .
Jana Littrell has generously volunteered some of her new retirement time to leading and programming this group’s discussion, congratulations Jana ! Her first book is Walls: A History Of Civilization In Blood And Brick, DB 92383, by David Frye. Approximately 10 hours in reading time.
