Why read it?

1 author picked The House Built on Sand as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I am recommending this book because it is a thorough investigation into the Nazi Eastern policies and their effects in the East. And also because Dr. Reitlinger was a renowned scholar.

I personally loved this book because, even though the topic is serious as it is sad, Dr. Reitlinger managed to write an authentic account of the topic with eloquence and solemnity. The book actually got me interested in the topic.

Published in 1960, I read the book in the late 1970s, and it is one of the books that made me interested in the topic – so much so…
