Book recommendation on the Nazis for a (very) advanced reader
score:2
Accepted answer
It's very hard to recommend a book for an experienced scholar in his own field, because he's likely to have already read it. I have one suggestion, because it's quite obscure.
I Was A Stranger by John Hackett was published in 1977, and reprinted in a limited edition by Slightly Foxed Ltd more recently. It is the story of how an Australian-born British Army officer, seriously wounded and captured at Arnhem, escaped while still wounded and was sheltered by a Dutch family while he recovered, at great risk to themselves. It's a fine illustration of how ordinary people refused to yield to the Nazis. Even if he has already read it, I do not think he will be disappointed by the gift.
