On a watchlist/10 for owning some of those

I know several of the people involved with David Irving's legal troubles. It's not really fair how they treated him, but he was a contrarian who was contrary about the wrong thing. Look into that noble dream.

No doubt. Posting on 8ch /pol/ without a vpn probably earned me that years ago, though.

I downloaded and dustributed mein Kampf chapters for classes, so they've been on to me for years. I know for an absolute fact that the alphabet boys do indeed keep those records.

Privacy is dead, but you can still be confusing. Paint a picture that doesn't make ANY sense. That's the best protection now.

A nice bookshelf of someone in his mid/late 20s who considers himself well-read, particularly in classical history, but hasn't really developed his own literary tastes beyond commonly accepted "canonical" works of fiction.

I wish I could buy the overpriced Conan and Lovecraft, but I wouldn't want to read it in that case. A good 5 dollar used hardback from Norton, penguin, or an academic publisher suits me

To be fair to OP, I probably just described 80% of /lit/. That said, OP has done pretty well in avoiding the obvious /lit/ meme books so I can't really fault him. The only real criticism I would offer is that his selection of poetry is woefully lacking (bordering on nonexistent).

Only by descent. American. I became interested in my ancestry a few years ago, and noticed that without ever having paid attention, almost all my favorite things are English. Music, books, movies/tv, ect. Opened my eyes to blood memory, innate racial affinity.

It's a work researched over 20 years that led to one of the greatest modern historical controversies.

In the end, lines be were drawn, a young Chicago trained Princeton professor was denied tenure, run out of history, got a job teaching law after being denied the bar for being a liar, and the whole scandal was scrubbed from wiki by commies

It was when Abraham's quotations and sources were subjected to a searching look. however, that serious questions began to be raised. Prof. Henry A. Turner. Jr., of Yale, whose own book German Big Business and the Rise of Hitler was published by Oxford University Press in January 1985, took the lead in checking out Abraham's scholarship. Turner had reviewed the book for the Political Science Quarterly in October 1982, focusing there on a critique, not of its veracity as to sources, but of its analytic logic and what he saw as an over-reliance on dogmatic Marxist theories about Nazism. (Turner is one of those scholars who reject the Marxian analysis as politically-motivated, narrow, and unsupported, ignoring the broader "populist" appeal of the Nazis and the importance of the anti-capitalist element and attraction in their ideology.) Commenting later that had Dr. Abraham's quotations all been accurate, he would have had to tear up a chapter of his own work-in-progress, Dr. Turner set to examining those quotations and their sources.

What he found so shocked and angered him that he sent communications to colleagues in America and Europe warning them that the Abraham book was, as he put it in one cover-letter, a "farrago of misinformation." With his letters went photocopies of Abraham's page 320, which directly quoted a 1932 exchange of letters between Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, former president of the Reichsbank, and Paul Reusch, a heavy-industry leader, seeming to show not only a heretofore-undocumented high degree of sympathy for the Nazis, but plans actively to assist them to power. With this page Dr. Turner sent copies of the original referenced letters of Schacht and Reuss. The comparison revealed that Abraham had invented out of thin air whole sentences, phrases, and sentiments in his "quotes." This was but one example. In a letter to Abraham, Turner charged several other misquotations, misdatings, and, most importantly, misattributions of documents dating from around Christmas 1930 that were a key part of Abraham's supposed documentation of pro-Nazi business machinations. Turner circulated this letter to other historians, and composed a letter to the American Historical Review which challenged Abraham to prove that certain documents relating to that Christmas 1930 period "exist now or ever existed." He pointed out that a book and a journal article cited by Abraham were nonexistent. The letter, together with Abraham's reply, was published in the October 1983 issue

It is the definitive, authoritative, and mastered interpretation on the subject. Henry spent his entire career from the 1960s to the 1980s on it. He made a dozen trips to the archives, read suetterlin perfect, and showed the nuances of support after electoral successes and contrasted that with the disdain they, industrialists and capital, felt for the young, middle class Nazis.
