Firstly, I had absolutely no interest reading this book. When our FSEM professor said that this was our last read, I felt no excitement whatsoever. I wanted to move on from this and not read it at all. Second, when trying to do research on this book, there\u2019s not much that comes up for it. There aren\u2019t many reviews or summary articles you can find for it, so I assume this is not a popular book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are many reasons as to why I had absolutely no interest in reading this book. For one, it\u2019s so long and boring. Second, again there\u2019s no much information online about it so how am I supposed to get a preview to this book?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onto the content of the book: again I\u2019m going to be honest here, I did not read the full text. I just felt it dragged on and there wasn\u2019t much that intrigued me. It talks a lot about how people only normally hear about the Soviet side from American and British textbooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Right off the bat of the text, it talks about how greatest power would to seize territory and enslave people of other countries\/dominate the world. I see a hard connection between this and today\u2019s Russian country. Russia is trying to take over Ukraine and Poland as I am writing this, so could we say a third world war is coming? It says how in the first world war that the \u201cHitlerite Germany and militarist Japan wanted to take out the Soviet union and enslave the people.\u201d From what I\u2019ve always learned in history classes, the Soviet Union worked aside with Germany and Japan? So I don\u2019t see how that makes much sense. This entire text just has a bitter tone to it and seems very butt-hurt about the way the second world war went.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
