Book Recommendations, Please.

My preference is non-fiction and history - in particular, political history. One of my most recent reads was "The Fall Of Yugoslavia", and I've read "The Churchill Factor" and "Orders To Kill" a few times over in recent months.

I also like anything that is ground-breaking in the field of nutrition and cancer-fighting, diet and lifestyle, you get my drift...

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Nutrition, health and diet...
Anything by Jason Fung. He writes about fasting among other things.

Amazon.co.uk User Recommendation

I can come up with many more authors if you are interested.

Fasting is one of my favourite subjects. Fasting has been shown to be immensely beneficial to patients on chemo and, of course, I work in Oncology.

Recommend away, Pasta. I'll have a good look at reviews tomorrow.

Sorry, Pasta, your link didn't work.

Simon Sebag Montefiore writes very well. Am enjoying his book about Stalin at the moment, but he covers others subjects such as Jerusalem.

Post USSR revolution, Stalin’s communists v Russian orthodox culture. Its heavy reading due to name pronounciation & places.

What are the books called, JK?

Tambo, I don't mind heavy reading when it's factual.

Thanks guys.

Glad youve no post natal drama & enjoying being a mum x

Tambo, I desperately need a removal of the whole "system" so I wouldn't say everything is hunky dory. However I will rejoice when I am a "free woman" if you get my drift...

I have to say goodnight now, but I will check back on this thread tomorrow.

The Klemperer Diaries, by Victor Klemperer.

Life as a jew in Germany in the Thirties and Forties. Several volumes, so get the first then if you like it, get the second.

Vol 1. I Shall Bear Witness: 1933-1941

Vol 2. To The Bitter End: 1942-1945

These volumes includes an amazing insight into how many ordinary (non-Jewish) German folk sympathised (and occasionally helped) the Jews living in Germany.

There is a third volume but that deals with post-war period I think (it's the one I haven't read myself).

P.S. I no longer provide Amazon links because they pay no UK taxes, and I prefer to make my purchases elsewhere.
