Hubris and Nemesis

#1

Post by Gwynn Compton » 20 Apr 2002, 07:10

I've just purchased "Hitler: Nemesis 1936-45", but I'm wondering whether I should not read it until I've read Hubris, opinions anyone? I'll be purchasing Hubris next week when it arrives at my local bookstore regardless, but I'm just very tempted to start reading Nemesis now...

Gwynn,
Wait for it! It really is worth it (Actually, I found "Hubris" better, in terms of things I did not already know.).

Enjoy!!

Regards from the Park,

Rich

Just from the historical perspective, I suggest reading "Hubris" first.

IMHO "Hubris" lays the foundation for "Nemesis" and I would recommend that you read the former first. Pardon me if Alzheimer's has taken over, but I seem to recall that you have something of a taste for Classical Greek history. If so, that would add even more strength to the recommendation.

Regards, Kaschner

Heh, you'd partially right there. I do enjoy a little Classical Greek History, however when looking at the ancient world I've always preferred Roman history, which I'll be doing a paper on next seimester, this seimester though has been Greek History :)

Since everyone agrees, I'll resist the temptation to read Nemesis first :)
