With a universal message on war, Sing before Breakfast is a
historical fiction of stellar note, impressive allegory, and
surprising tenderness. Powerfully wrought with painstaking
accuracy, author and history buff George Stein realistically
captures events of the American Civil War and its impact on
civilians and their land. Through the eyes of a young boy, a nation
is being forged.
The Old Testament is the primary religious text for the Jewish
people and also forms a major part of the sacred texts of
Christianity. The Old Testament covers not only the religion of the
ancient Israelites, but also gives a detailed account of their
secular life, which naturally includes their mental health issues.
Most of the common major psychiatric disorders are well
represented, and there are several descriptions of depression. The
verses of the Old Testament were all written with a primary
religious intention, but sometimes, almost incidentally, they
include mentions of familiar mental symptoms. This becomes clear
only when all the religion, history and myth are stripped away from
them - hence the title The Hidden Psychiatry of the Old Testament.
This landmark study, first published by Cornell University Press in
1966, shows how Hitler's elite army grew from a praetorian guard of
barely 28,000 men at the beginning of the Second World War to a
combat-hardened army of more than 500,000 in 1945. George H. Stein
examines in detail the structure and organization of the Waffen SS
and describes the rigid personnel selection and intensive physical,
military, and ideological training that helped to create the tough
and dedicated cadre around which the larger force of the later war
years was built.
