Knowing your enemy is definitely a good thing to do! Also, I wouldn't even label it history if they're purposefully trying to create a false narrative in the past. If you slap me with me an old Herodotus quote, I'll slap you.
Conquests are cool when it's not your colour.
My point is: there's a big black scary book with a swastika on it called "Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". It's a fucking battle to get through, but it really helps you figure out why fascism can rise so quickly. It's also written by a British correspondent.
Also, I love the art style.
Read it.
Long, but the details are clutch, it's amazing how little things helped make such a massive catastrophe for the world.
