One book that I always tell people not to go through life without reading is Harrison Salisbury's "900 Days," the story of the siege of Leningrad. People tried to sustain themselves with bread made of rancid wheat and sawdust. When people died in the street from a combination of the elements and malnutrition, other people were too weak to pick them up and bury them. Despite all this, they resisted the Nazis. Salisbury, the NY Time's most respected reporter in the 20th century, stated that the only way to understand the resistance was the belief in socialism that persisted through all the hardship of the 1930s. I also plan to read the book that Mark recommended for a definitive history of WWII.
