Discover the incredible true story of Colditz, one of history's most notorious prisons, and the daring POWs who risked everything to escape. From renowned author Ben Macintyre comes a gripping and captivating narrative full of heroism, betrayal, and ingenious escape attempts that have become legend.

@Mantzarlis Did I recommend Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (h/t @johngreen). Nonfiction: Must tout my dean's excellent book: The Prophet of the Andes by @gmochkofsky. Also Ben Macintyre's Prisoners of the Castle is very good. Plus @JMchangama's very good Free Speech.      источник

The Newspaper Axis
Six Press Barons Who Enabled Hitler
Kathryn S. Olmsted - 2022-03-22
Рейтинг Goodreads
This book explores how six conservative media moguls in America and Britain hindered their countries' entry into World War II. These influential figures, such as William Randolph Hearst, shared their isolationist views in print and over the airwaves, echoing fascist and anti-Semitic propaganda. Author Kathryn S. Olmsted delves into how these media titans worked in concert, delaying both Britain's and America's response to Nazi aggression. A must-read for anyone interested in the influence of media on politics.

Ten Years and a Thousand Books in Prison
Daniel Genis
Рейтинг Goodreads
A young addict's memoir of surviving a decade in prison with empathy and wit. Known as the "Apologetic Bandit", the author describes in unsparing detail the realities of daily life in the New York penal system, encountering violence on an almost daily basis, while trying to preserve his relationship with his wife. Sentence is a strikingly powerful memoir of the brutalities of prison, leaving its walls with a book made of pain, fear, and laughter.

Just finished listening to @DanGenis' Sentence, an engrossing and oddly charming book about his decade in New York prisons for robbery to buy heroin and the thousand books he read there. Recommended.      источник
