The History Book of the 20th Century, November 19, 2005
Reviewer: Arkadiy Dubovoy (Virginia) - See all my reviews
"It is safe to assume that if you have not read Viktor Suvorov's Icebreaker (or, at least, are not familiar with his ideas), you don't understand the last 85 years of the world history.
Viktor Suvorov was trained as a military intelligence officer at the time when soviet military intelligence was the best in the world (probably still is). In the late seventies Suvorov defected to England, where he wrote several books about soviet army and intelligence. By all accounts (friends and enemies alike), Viktor Suvorov possesses encyclopedic knowledge about military theory and history, particularly the history of World War II. His knowledge and analytical ability are astounding.
Published first in the eighties, Icebreaker was the first in Suvorov's series of historical books. By the year 2000, it was translated into 27 languages and published more than 100 times. Icebreaker is a book about communist preparation and execution (however poorly, but not for the lack of trying) of the biggest crime in the history of mankind, World War II. Because of that, in addition to its historical value of showing communist conspiracy as a true cause of WWII, Icebreaker is probably the best, most convincing anti-communist book ever written. Suvorov neither uncovers any secrets, nor does he simply catalogue the crimes. He analyzes communists' own words and innumerable well-known facts to show communism as the darkest, most evil episode in the human history.
Before you start reading this book, however, keep in mind several important things.
First, this relatively small book is an overview of many very complex political, historical, and military events. The most important of the ideas had been expanded by the author in his later books (see below). The sheer number of dogmas and controversies Suvorov takes head on is mind-boggling, and this is why the author must occasionally abbreviate his arguments. As a result, the book may seem cursory to unprepared readers.
Second, Icebreaker was written in Russian and intended for Eastern European readership. In order to be immediately understood, the book does assume certain cultural background, i.e., familiarity with the history and cannibalistic rituals of communist regimes. I am not implying that western readers will not understand the book, to the contrary, I think that an interested western reader will benefit enormously from reading this book.
Third, Icebreaker, when it became available, was an instant tremendous success in the former USSR and all Eastern Block countries. In Eastern Europe Icebreaker became de facto 20th century European history textbook and the basis of common popular understanding of the events leading to WWII and its immediate aftermath. It would be foolish to disregard the opinion of people who actually lived through the events . . . ."
Good luck trying to get a copy - they go for several hundred dollars. FYI
So then you do believe that we started WWII not the
Germans.
The Germans were simply defending their homeland from our viscious attacks on their civilialns.
That the real threat was the Russians and even though they had not attacked anyone and had no army on the march that we should have gone to war with them instead of Germany.
You need to get out more often.
Maybe get a little fresh air once or twice a week.
But at the very least stop with the nonsense you are posting about us, the west, the free countries being the problem.
As to killing women and children, have you ever read the Book of Joshua? I can imagine you would see in Communism the same "Jewish barbarism" your hero Voltaire (and probably Revilo P. Oliver as well) found in the Bible and Talmud.
Go back to Original Dissent or Liberty Forum or whatever "Jewish bankers rule the world" forum you came from.
