You would not want to be in The Midnight House! It is a location where the CIA and other various high security agencies kept their worst terrorists. It is not known except by those that are using it for all types of interrogation including torture of the worst means. Of course it is not known since the United States does not torture those they interrogate! When you read the things that these terrorists performed you might feel The Midnight House is very necessary, like it or not.

This story will take you to many of the areas of the world in which the free world is fighting today to rid the world of the worst terrorists. It takes you on raids and actions including both sides of the war on terror and then takes you in the cells, or whatever you wish to call their walls of imprisonment, to suffer what the prisoners and the interrogators do through time, telling their daily routines while they play mind games with each other.

John Wells had been an agent but needed time off to recover from the rigors of the extreme work these agents perform. John was on a mountain climbing trek when he received a call from his immediate boss, Ellis Shafer requesting that John was desperately needed at work. Reluctantly, John returned to the dangerous grueling work. The agency heads were too secretive about all the things going on in the "prison camps" such as Midnight House was, but needed help finding some terrorists as well as CIA missing agents. Shafer and Wells left after obtaining all the possible information heading for Pakistan, Egypt, and surrounding areas. Wells went into deep cover traveling to and while in the area. Wells was as tough as anyone, mentally or physically, but was he ready for all he would suffer, learn, and observe?

Sometimes in each others company and sometimes not they carried out their mission getting into trouble with local authorities and enemy combatants several times. Their life was hard while they pried into the lives and actions of the agents that were in or had been in the area. Some had disappeared from plain sight. A unit called 673 had secretly been formed for the area and Shafer and Wells were to search for the group, if any were left, and the past members that had disappeared from the face of the earth. Some of the searches led back to Washington, DC and the heads of the involved agencies. How far to go and how far to open cans of worms to their sources?

An excellent spy book as John Well's returns in another one of Alex Berenson's books. Wells ex-love life was a part also. He had a hard time getting Exley out of his mind but she was out of the picture as far as Wells figured. You will not be disappointed as you read and travel to "The Midnight House."

AUSCHWITZ the Nazis and the final solution: book review

AUSCHWITZ the Nazis and the final solution: book review

Professor Satchafunkilus Sir Ian Kershew says ' Auschwitz: The Nazis and the final solution?

"Laurence Rees has cast a new light on how Auschwitz was created and developed in last place of horror".

Professor Satchafunkilus David Cesarai said: "a story of Auschwitz which is accessible and authoritative".

The author, Antony Beevor, said: "great stimulus of Rees to understand the mindset of the guards and administrators SS fields is generated not only by a passionate curiosity, but by an intellectual honesty that the subject needs."

AUSCHWITZ the Nazis and the final solution by Laurence Rees is a shocking account of man's inhumanity to man. I started reading this book as bedtime reading, but after a few evening, could no longer continue reading it before falling to sleep. The man is capable of cruelty; even the cruelest animal on the planet could not match.

After reading this book, now I can understand why the Russians were so merciless when the Germans were retreating from the Russian front. I do not understand that in seven months of war against the Soviets, the Germans took three million Red Army prisoners, and through the course of the war as a whole, of which 5.7 million, a staggering 3.3 million lost their lives in captivity.

Auschwitz was built as a concentration camp and later developed into a mass extermination of people with disabilities, the faint, Jews, Gypsies and others from all countries in Europe-Jews in particular suffered unspeakable cruelties.

A total of 1.1 million human beings — men, women and children-were killed in this one field alone. When questioned after the war, the camp commander Hoess, 21, didn't see any harm in what they had done; He had simply obeyed orders from Heinrich Himmler that it appears, as you read this book, even more enthusiastic than killing Hitler.

The book casts a reflection on sad and cruel Nazi German history between 1938 and 1945.

The feeling I had when reading this book was a kind of desperation and I asked the question, "why?" Why this was allowed the horror to can't happen? Our Governments of the world knew that was going on, but did little. In fact, history records that wasn't mostly individuals, a mere handful of people who have helped thousands to flee. European and American Governments have focused on the war with the exception of the Holocaust. And, as we know, for them the war was approximately six million Jews who perished, but save themselves from Nazi occupation.

I recommend this book as a piece well studied and recorded pre-modern history, which shows the man at its worst.

PS. I found tricky, in fact, impossible to understand such extreme hatred towards the Jews, in particular, and why it remains so today. I can only think of one possible is, one a friend and gave it to me. "Is spiritual. It is beyond our understanding ".
