Five Political/Historical Books I Must Read
Here goes the list of the day:
1. Das Kapital - Marx' lifelong work, the fundemental of communism.
2. Mein Kampf - Again the fundement of a political ideology which got widespread and is spreading today.
3. The Art of War - Sun Tzu, shall I say more?
4. Orientalism - Edward Said, it is said that this book might explain the myth created around the so called "clash between civillizations".
5. The Origin of Species - I'm no darwinist, but you have to know your enemy right?

This past summer, I picked up "The Art of War" and "Emergency Sex and Other Desperate Measures: A True Story from Hell on Earth," but I only managed to read the latter and had to return "The Art of War," so hopefully I'll read it next summer - I can't read other books during school time. By the way, significant part of "Emergency Sex.." takes place in Hamar/Mogadishu, Somalia during the U.N. and U.S.'s operation between 1992-1993.
