New Factual books to read. * “Jews Don’t Count” - David Baddiel. How identity politics failed one particular identity. “is a book for people who consider themselves on the right side of history. People fighting against homophobia, disablism, transphobia and particularly, racism. Outlining why and how, in a time of heightened awareness of minorities, Jews don’t count and why they should.” * “Control” - Adam Rutherford. “How did an obscure academic idea pave the way to the holocaust within just fifty years? Why does Eugenics still loom large in the twenty-first century, despite its genocidal past? Did Eugenics work? Could it work? Or was it always a pseudoscientific fantasy?” * “Madhouse At The End Of The Earth” - Julian Sancton “On a sunny day in 1897, a Belgian ship set sail with the dream of reaching the frozen continent of Antartica. Very quickly, things start to go horribly wrong. With the ship stuck in ice, the crew are condemned to overwintering in Antartica and months of endless polar night.” A true life horror story. * “Strange Intelligence” - Hector C Bywater & H.C Ferraby. “Hector C Bywater was perhaps the British Secret Service’s finest agent operating in Germany before the First World War, tasked with collecting intelligence on naval installations. Recruited by Mansfield Cumming, the first ‘C’ (or head of what would become MI6). Bywater probably came as close to the popular image of Ian Flemming’s 007 James Bond as any British Secret Agent ever did.” #davidbaddiel #adamrutherford #juliansancton #hectorcbywater #hcferraby #book #greatreads #reading #author #books #booknerd #booklover #bookcommunity #bookaddict #booksbooksbooks #positivevibes #bookvibes #readingvibes #foodforthebrain #positivewaves #metalhobbit (at Birmingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZzhxcioE_8/?utm_medium=tumblr
