An uninteresting history

"History in my time" by Otto Strasser isn't particularly interesting. The first chapter, detailing the author's escape from France during the Nazi German invasion, is dramatic and somewhat interesting. The rest of the book consists of short sketches dealing with German history from World War I to Hitler. It says very little and since the book lack notes, it could even be somewhat confusing to those ill versed in German history.

The author was a dissident Nazi, expelled from the NSDAP by Hitler himself, and hence forced to flee for his life when the Nazis took power in Germany in 1933. Otto Strasser's brother Gregor was another Nazi dissident, murdered at Hitler's orders in 1934 during the "night of the long knives". However, this particular book says relatively little about this. A more interesting work by Otto Strasser is "Hitler and I", reviewed by me elsewhere.
