>There were two possibilities in Judaism. Before the birth of Christ, these two, negation and affirmation, were together awaiting choice. Christ was the man who conquered in Himself Judaism, the greatest negation, and created Christianity, the strongest affirmation and the most direct opposite of Judaism. Now the choice has been made; the old Israel has divided into Jews and Christians, and Judaism has lost the possibility of producing greatness. The new Judaism has been unable to produce men like Samson and Joshua, the least Jewish of the old Jews. In the history of the world, Christendom and Jewry represent negation and affirmation. In old Israel there was the highest possibility of mankind, the possibility of Christ. The other possibility is the Jew. I must guard against misconception; I do not mean that there was any approach to Christianity in Judaism; the one is the absolute negation of the other; the relation between the two is only that which exists between all pairs of direct opposites. Even more than in the case of piety and Judaism, Judaism and Christianity can best be contrasted by what each respectively excludes. Nothing is easier than to be Jewish, nothing so difficult as to be Christian. Judaism is the abyss over which Christianity is erected, and for that reason the Aryan dreads nothing so deeply as the Jew.
>Christ was a Jew, precisely that He might overcome the Judaism within Him, for he who triumphs over the deepest doubt reaches the highest faith; he who has raised himself above the most desolate negation is most sure in his position of affirmation. Judaism was the peculiar, original sin of Christ; it was His victory over Judaism that made Him greater than Buddha or Confucius. Christ was the greatest man because He conquered the greatest enemy. Perhaps He was, and will remain, the only Jew to conquer Judaism.

Is it worth the read?
Mason Hill
Grayson Sanchez
One of the most well researched books on CIAniggers
Alex Jones says this is the book that got him into conspiracy
Xavier Johnson
People are reading "Culture of Critique".
Ethan Bailey
Have some recommendations from my latest reads.
This one is a most excellent book on the Roman-Judean war of A.D. 70. Brizzi is a master scholar and an excellent writer.
Don't know if it's translated, but it could be.
Kayden Garcia
This was my favourite book for this year.
It's not so recent, but it's absolutely excellent, and makes compelling points.
10/10 would experience again.
Brandon Davis
Recently read this, it's a nice summary of the different personalities that shaped the inception of America. I preferred other works of Ellis, though.
Ryder Price
Another good one, on one of my favourite topics: D'Annunzio and Fiume.
Qui Contra Nos?
Jackson Robinson
Another decent book. Not on the level of Carnage and Culture, but certainly an entertaining read.
If you can deal with the excessive angolophilia and anglocentrism of Ferguson, and compensate for it, it's worth your time.
Nolan Anderson
Forgot the image, blast
Thomas Flores
Finally, a suggestion for those of you that can read spanish:
The military history of the spanish tercios, in all their depth, gore and glory.
Brayden Cooper
A final must have, if only because the man is a fucking genius.
Xavier Gonzalez
I've read two of the four in that pic my only complaint is instead of being a Byzaboo Crowley has an absolute hard on for the turk.
Kayden Stewart
True, but despite that he's still a good writer, to be honest.
James Thomas
Dense and academic. I think it's absolutely worth it. I plan on reading it again soon.
Matthew Morris
By the way, if you want to read of some turks getting rekt, have a go at this.
It's short and well written.
Juan Bennett
I'll check it out.
Asher Stewart
Im on the 3rd book of gene wolfes book of the new sun. It's alright.
Brayden Hall
One of the more interesting things from it though was how often the Turks had to rely on Europeans to actually accomplish anything. They basically depended on European's selling out their countrymen to achieve a higher status with the Turks.
Jace Murphy
I'll also be asking for opinions.
Did anybody here read this one:
> Marcus Agrippa: Right-Hand Man of Caesar Augustus
> by Lindsay Powell
He's one of my favourite historical figures, but I've not read this specific book yet. Any review here? The ones online are a mixed bag.
Andrew Stewart
I'll have to look into this. Anything in it about the actual tactics he used, or the campaigns he led?
Carter Perry
If you aren’t reading this book to your kids you are bluepilled.
Gavin Evans
I got the bottom left corner (1453) for Christmas last year. Still haven't finished it. The feels I get knowing that the mudslimes win in the end- I just can even.
Brody James
It has pretty detailed descriptions of troop movements in his battles as well as the actual campaigns. It is nonlinear though, so the narrative will use the time A.P. Hill is first assigned to work under Jackson to discuss his life as a West Point student with the men who would become his adversaries and allies.
Carter Evans
Just started reading this
It's a white pill if you believe it
Only read the introduction thus far
Camden Cruz
>Book about Venice being the city of Fortunes is in the same set as 1453
hmm no conflict of interest there? seeing how Venetians are directly responsible for 1453
Christian Morgan
I like these threads, because it separates the clear brainlets spamming 'redpilled' bullshit and the true patricians. Pic related is what I'm currently reading, next is one about the Carolingian Empire.
Ayden Scott
Anyone knows a nice 17 century themed book about adventures on the sea - discovering new lands with a historic context
something like Treasure Island
Dominic Rogers
>seeing how Venetians are directly responsible for 1453
Not really. They were doomed after Manzikert which was caused by their failing military system.
Plus what the hell do expect after refusing to pay an army of pissed off fully armored crusaders? At least the earlier Emperors had the foresight to wait until after the crusaders left their land to screw them over.
Anthony Cruz
if youre looking for a novel, check out The Bonfire of the Vanities, in which Tom Wolfe owns the blacks and the mexicans.
Landon Torres
This. its a VERY good read.
Luke Reyes
Origins of political order
Political order and political decay
Charles Lewis
The book about Portugal in OP’s pic is really good if you’re willing to go a century earlier.
Dylan Carter
A kind of japanese version of Art of War
Ethan Parker
This and hidden kingdoms are great reads.
Parker Harris
Thanks. Found it.
My Italian is pretty mediocre and rusty, but academic books are often easier to read, a lot of academic vocabulary being international.
I read the first paragraph of the first chapter and it doesn't look too intimidating.
Elijah Allen
Im re-reading lord of the flies because I saw a new edition with a really cool cover at the book store, so I bought it.
Eli Sanchez

Any fellow WW1 autismos have/need any recommendations? I just finished a four book series on the eastern front. Would love something that deals with the fall of the Romanovs
Jose Rivera
I looked around and no english version sadly. I hate being a burger sometimes
Ian Perez
I read this one, its great.
Dominic Campbell
Devil's Broker is a good one. It talks about John Hawkwood and the mercenaries in Italy during the 1300's
Dylan Sanchez
>I just finished a four book series on the eastern front.
Is that the series written by the poo? If so how was it?
Noah Kelly
Asimov Chronology of the world
Tale of two cities
And above all, the Bible
Noah Clark
This. Read it about two weeks ago. It was enjoyable.
Cameron Ross
Yep thread need archiving
Ryan Jackson
Yes. It’s fucking excellent, I really enjoyed it. I had my computer nearby to pull up maps because he goes really in depth with the battles. But yeah, it’s a very, very good read
Cooper Baker
Don Quijote
Robert Butler
I was shocked how hindus weren't allowed to go out to sea because of their religion, and thus, Muslims dominated the trade of the Indian Ocean. So Portugal literally thousands of miles away from the Indian Ocean, was able to conquer the entire trade nodes of a huge ass ocean.
Christopher Wright
Bradford is pretty legit.
Noah Nguyen
If that is a woman author, skip it. Every woman author I have read, even in fiction, just has this thing about their style that screams "IM A WOMAN" and it shows
Idk maybe im a sexist.
David Roberts
>Storm of Steel
Kickass memoir written by a German general in World War I. He was a national hero because of it, even though he shunned the Nazis in WW2 they didn't give him any shit because he was that much of a national treasure.
>My Confession
memoir of a scalp hunter from the American west. Was the source for a lot of details in Blood Meridian. Will redpill you on cowboys and indians and all the lies Hollywood has been feeding you about them.
>Endurance
Amazing story of antarctic explorers whose boat got caught in the ice and then crushed apart and how they had to survive. They either had to walk towards land where no one could find them, or walk towards the ocean where the ice got thinner and thinner, but someone might see them.
>In the Heart of the Sea
Story about American whalers whose boat sank when an angry whale rammed into it repeatedly. They were adrift in rowboats rationing food for months until they had to resort to cannibalism.
>Chronicles of the Crusades
original historical documents from soldiers who fought in the crusades.
>Joseph Conrad's novellas
he wrote Heart of Darkness but also several other novellas that include seafaring, including one about a droppelganger that Iiked. Not technically historical but Conrad was a real sailor and its evident in his knowledge of boating.
>At the Gates of the Alamo
beautifully written historical fiction about Santa Ana's army marching to Mexico, a kid who joins the American army because of a psycho cunt, his mom who tries to find him, and a botanist caught up in the middle of it.
Samuel Morgan
Pic related is a mouthful of kino
Parker Howard
I'd agree with the new books, but for example it wasn't always the case about it. Anyway J.K Rowling did great until she became bat-shit crazy.
I blame Twilight for the demise of woman written literature.
Also is there a shock that men are more prolific when it comes to writing? Sexism has its place even in arts as the best painters, sculptors, writers are, have been and will be males.

The style is not too complicated, and it doesn't use uncommon terms except when there's need to (e.g: specific historical ones).
Adrian Torres
Right now I'm reading Let Trump be Trump
Logan Brown
Is having a Goodreads account bad? They're owned by Amazon and intelligence gathering goes on... On the other hand, ignoring it means you have no presence there.
Noah Collins
if this doesnt happen in the next 10 years we are fucked.

>The Fate of Empires by Glubb
It's a nice introduction to cyclical history. It's composed of 2 essays (60 pages total +/-). He describes, with examples, how the majority of western empires dating from 3.000 years go through the same stages:
>The age of outburst (or pioneers).
Where a unknown or renegade tribe, without nothing to lose, just burst into a series of endeavors to consolidate itself as an empire.
>The age of conquests.
Where the tribe actually turns itself in a empire.
3. The age of commerce.
After the acquisition of wealth, people now don't have that thirst to conquest anymore, focusing itself to commerce instead.
>The age of affluence.
Wealth controls it all and it corrupts all of the values that once made the empire what it was. The empire now focus on defense other than offense and since they have a enormous amount of money, the State starts giving people benefits like welfare state and suchs.
>The age of intellect.
Being a soldier and having courage and honour doesn't matter anymore so the empire seek to maximize its achievements throughout academic endeavors. Universities start to pop up in each corner.
>The age of decadence.
Self-explanatory
>The age of decline andcollapse.
The empire has now lost everything that once made it great and it's just a matter of time until another unknown or renegade tribe conquers it.
For me reading this was scarier than reading Lovecraft.
Josiah Torres
>The Fate of Empires by Hubbard
It's a great complement to the other one. While Glubb's analysis focus itself on a macro perspective (civilizations), Hubbard's has a micro one (living beings). He discourses about how a living being goes from instinct (barbarism) to reason and the necessity to go even beyond that.
Ryan Ramirez
i read 2 of these books:
Conquerors and empire of the sea
nice side story
Jews got banned in Venice because a jewish butcher skinned a venican officer alive for the turks.
Camden Green
Please for the love of God read some actual history.
