The two most talked of non-fiction books this year remain the Friedman’s take on the globalised world and the Mitorkhin Archives II. Friedman argues that the most aggressive globalisers of our times are the men and women from India and China who are designing, setting up and manning communication systems for the entire world. In a racy style he says that the only way to free oneself of their clutches is to join them.
The World Hitler Never Made: Alternate History and the Memory of Nazism, by Gavriel D. RosenfeldOften one had wondered about the mental and moral health of our young men who flaunt with pride the black and red Swastika sign of the Nazi party. Then came the amazing announcement by the President of Iran denying the existence of the Holocaust. How and why this happens has been explained with a lot of evidence by the historian Gavriel D. Rosenfeld in his counterfactual history of Europe since 1945. The essential victory of Nazism was, he says, that it found an honourable place in the mindscape of the world even after causing so much horror in the 1930s and 40s.
