As long as we're on the subject of recommending books ...
a great one is Milton Mayer's "They Thought They Were Free",
interviews with ten Germans post-war. The title pretty
much sums it up. Mayer was an excellent writer and journalist.
The book is hard to find.

One quote at the beginning of the book:
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself
"God, I thank Thee, that I am not as other men are."
Here's hoping cypherpunks don't start echoing that sentiment ...
