Alright /his/, could anybody give me a good book recommendation for a biography of Sir Arthur "Anne Frank gets the gas? Frankfurt gets the blast." Harris? In all seriousness, I've been looking to read more about him.
>>3130982
It's not a biography of Harris, but I would recommend Bomber Command by Max Hastings, which goes into the inns and outs of British strategic bombing thought and how things were working over at the HQ, which necessarily has a lot to do with Harris.
>>3130982
found these OP
Saward, Dudley. Bomber Harris. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1985.
>This is an authorized biography of Arthur Harris by a member of Harris’s staff, and it cover Harris’s role in making and executing decisions.
Smith, Malcolm. British Air Strategy between the Wars. Oxford: Clarendon, 1984.
>Smith outlines the debates and progress of British air strategy in the interwar period, and incorporates works from Trenchard—commander of the Independent Bombing Force in World War I and later chief of the Air Staff—John Slessor, Arthur Tedder, and Arthur Harris. Each of these British RAF leaders was consistent in the theories of strategic bombing, and all tried to implement the ideas in prewar exercises and in war in World War II.
Harris, Arthur. Bomber Offensive. Barnsley, UK: Leo Cooper, 2005.
>This reprint of Sir Arthur “Bomber” Harris’s memoirs chronicles his role as the commander of the RAF’s Bomber Command. While he is still a questionable figure for his part in the destruction of German cities and area bombing at night, this book offers his argument for his actions.

What do /wethink/ about Zizek?
>>3129992
He's pretty great if you read his books rather than just watch 1 or 2 lectures and then make a dumb opinion.
>>3129992
Slavoj "sniffman" Zizek is just a funny, laughable character, I think even he would agree his philosophy is highly idiosyncratic and he wilfully puts humor, satire, perversion and absurdity in there precisely, in my opinon, to create this sort of "memetic" effect (like the passage regarding fistfucking in relation to Adam and Eve) that no doubt has an effect on his popularity. Making fun of his character, even of his philosophy, doesn't seem to deny the worth of either, not only that, but it seems to be the core tool of the Zizek marketing scheme.
>>3129992
He's legitimately artistic
Is it really good to call that series of events a "Civil War"?
It wasn't just Reds vs Whites but it evolved troops from the US, France, Japan and many other countries, the Czech volunteers..... it spilled into other countries with the invasion of Poland, the war in Finland, the Hungarian Soviet Republic, Mongolia, Western china....
It was a massive war in terms of area and people evolved and affected not just the former Russian Empire but a huge part of Eurasia. Limiting this to being called a "civil war" just seem laughable.
It should be called the "Bolshevik War" or at least considered an extension of WWI, with Soviet Russia being the new enemy of the Entente.
>>3198321
by your metric American and French civil wars should be classified as World Wars
>>3198336
>American Civil War
>world war
There was never a single battle where outside forces fought allied with the Union and or the Confederates
However there was one battle where the Confederacy and the Union fought against a foreign foe, ironically.
>It should be called the "Bolshevik War" or at least considered an extension of WWI
Then you would have troubles putting into a proper context Ukrainian Nationalists fighting against German occupational government, or Makhno's Anarchists fighting against Ukrainian Nationalists, Whites and Reds, or Greens fighting against everybody.

Was Fransisco Franco just a counter-revolutionary reactionary or did he deliberately move the Falange Tradicionalista away from fascism after the Axis lost? If he was just a reactionary why didn't he immediately appoint the carlist heir to the throne?
He was just a power hungry cunt tbqh
>>3198060
I heard there were many other generals and ideological leaders supposed to be involved in a post-civil war council and Franco just ended up on top of the pile of bodies, but I don't know if this an exaggeration of Franco's autocracy or two guys dying in plane crashes
1) He banned Carlism until he died because they were against him.
2) He did apoint the FET (Falange Española Tradicionalista) to do most of the job in the government during 1939-1945, he then renamed the party to a less fashy name and then started to appoint monarchist technocrats because Falangists failed to make the country advance.

>letting niggers vote? muh welfare plantations! just *look* at this unverified quote
Anyone who falls for the "L.B.J. was bad" meme needs a good, cheesy slap in the face from Jumbo.
Is it true that acclaimed historian and polymath John Green has publicly stated that he "hates niggers" and that his newest book, "Turtles All The Way Down" contains explicit references to his "hatred of niggers"? Is it true that the first chapter of this new novel is just the phrase "I drink nigger blood" over and over again? Does John Green truly, as he himself has said, "hate niggers and wish they were all dead"? Have pictures actually been leaked of John Green covered in "nigger blood" while he devours the flesh of, according to him, "trillions of niggers"?
