    I have his "The Girl who Saved the King of Sweden" on my 'to read' pile of books.

    You may have read it, but if you like the above, I also enjoyed "A man called Ove" by Fredrick Backman.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Default A snapshot of Germany's national project, 1933-1945

    Goldhagen: Hitler's Willing Executioners - Ordinary Germans & the Holocaust, Abacus books, 1997 >>> Received with utter fury in sone quarters, its author vilified for setting the genocide of the war years in the totality of German history. Goldhagen dismisses the usual excuse that the Holocaust was down to the unfortunate collison between economic recession and a freakish abberation of Germany's national psyche known to us as National Socialism. Germany's desire to 'solve' the Jewish Question goes back much further and deeper than the years 1933 - 1945.
