Sebastian Haffner's "Defying Hitler" offers a unique perspective on Nazi Germany, drawing on the author's personal experiences as a German citizen during the rise and reign of the Nazi regime. The book provides a detailed account of the social and political climate of the time, highlighting the gradual erosion of democratic institutions and the normalization of anti-Semitic sentiments. Haffner's insightful analysis sheds light on the complexities of German society under Hitler's rule, exploring the complicity and resistance within the population. The book is a valuable contribution to understanding the historical context of the Holocaust and the dangers of unchecked authoritarianism. It serves as a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy and the importance of vigilance against the rise of extremism.

The Fourth Turning illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future based on a provocative theory of American history. The authors identify a distinct pattern where modern history moves in cycles, each lasting about the length of a long human life, composed of four twenty-year eras—or 'turnings'—that comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. The book offers bold predictions about how America’s past will predict what comes next, particularly focusing on the roles of Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials during times of upheaval.
