The bad book: The lies taught by the fringe
Mr. King is a holocaust denier which should give a potential reader most if not all of the information needed to decide whether or not to read THE BAD WAR.
I began this book with considerable skepticism but determined to give Mr. King a fair hearing. I discovered that he makes many controversial claims without offering any proof at all. He does not even offer reasonable, logical arguments which would support his postions circumstancually. Asserting a thing does not make it so.
The text also contains pejorative terms for describing those whom he paints as villains. For instance he refers to British prime minister Benjamin Disraeli variously as devious Disraeli, dirty Disraeli and globalist-Zionist Disraeli. He calls Winston Churchill a raving, warmongering lunatic and a drunkard. Adolf Hitler on the other hand is a talented painter and a wise, benign, tolerant leader.
This stuff reads like the pamphlets, newspapers and books distributed in the 1960's and 70's by the Klan, the Nazis and other fascists groups. I should know. I read a ton of it given to me by people trying to recruit me and another ton when I was just trying to keep track of the fringe groups on all extremes. The authors back then offered no more proof than does King in this book.
I know that history is written by the winners and that the accepted story is not always accurate. After all, I am a Southerner. However, Mr. King is not a dependable historian.
I downloaded this book via Kindle Unlimited.
Addendum 11/25/23:
Unfortunately antisemitism is again raising its ugly head as a large worldwide movement. As hard as it is to believe, this includes the United States as the left publicly demonstrates the intolerance it has always had. The further to the extreme left you go, the closer you come to the extreme right.

This isn't my normal type of book and my father insisted that I read it. This book is more of an outline of historical facts, not influenced by media, in chronological order that explain events from the mid 1800s to modern time, focusing on WWI and WWII as well as the aftermath.
The victor writes history and I'm not surprised to learn that corporate greed had the biggest role to play in America involving itself in the affairs of the rest of the world. I've been to the Nimitz Museum and have read some of the aspects of the war that didn't quite make sense. I've also visited Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, Dachau, Berlin, and Munich. War is bad. No one benefits.
I would have given this book five stars for the amount of research and the writer's passion, but I kept finding typos. The photographs included were also very powerful.
I no longer think Hitler was the anti-Christ of the past century. Now, I'm pretty sure it was Stalin.
I'm glad I read this book.

We've been lied to
This book is an eye opener and destroys the propaganda fed to the world for 70 plus years. The book is well documented with facts that you were never told.

This truth needs to heard
This was truly a very enlightening book.
I've read books like this before but this one was really all encompassing. It's to bad many people will never believe
it.

Great book about the timeframe between 1848 - 1950 and the events that took place during that time regarding warfare. It really makes you want to go back and research all that you were told/taught growing up. You can't always believe everything that you read but some stuff is worth researching further.

Gives a lot to think about
To question ourselves allows us to dig for the truth in ourselves...I would assume the same is true for our history...finding the truth in regards to humanity. A good read...still looking up some of the information given.

For about the last 100 years, the Press has been controlled. When there is a war, the first casualty is the TRUTH. So if you really want to know what happened in World War 2, this is the book for you. However, you will find out that the US was on the wrong side, and you will also find out why and who did it.

My thoughts on this book: I enjoyed it. Was it perfect? No it was not, but no book ever is right? The lack of footnotes, citations, and sources can really cause anyone to question the validity of this book. You see though, with common sense anyone can put two and two together and come up with the answer. What this book has done is inspire me to do is to further my reading in to related matters and keep compounding the pieces of the vast puzzle together. This book is really provocative and challenges, if not over hauls altogether, the standard narrative of WW2 that we all have collectively acknowledged. Morpheus was right, the rabbit hole is truly deep.

Great book IF you can find it! Breaks down the history BEFORE ww2 and shows the patterns used by Zionists and globalists to inflict war upon Germany both in ww1 and ww2! Full of facts and information everyone should know. Glad I have this book for my kids to read one day!
May 26, 2015
The authors of this book tries to pin the blame for WW2 on the UK, the US and Russia as well as portraying the Allies as war criminals while Nazi Germany was righteous and virtuous and victim of an extensive smear campaign - the horrors of the holocaust being the pinnacle of the smear campaign against Hitler and co.
This is highly incendiary stuff, which could be dangerous in the wrong hands, or should I say in the wrong minds.
As you may have noticed, I did give it 2 stars and judging by my review of it so far, that would be 2 more than what it deserved, though you can't give less than 1 star. Anyhow. The extra star is for a fair narrative of WW1 and the misfortunes of Germany from the start of the war to the Treaty of Versailles and the subsequent aftermath including famine, brutality, financial hardship, loss of essential resources and shame.
It's been my long held belief that if the Allies had shown magnanimity towards the defeated Weimar Republic, WW2 would not have happened. Instead, Germany's punishment was far too severe, especially when considering that it was mainly innocent civilians who were made to suffer.

The only reason I'm giving this book 1 star is that is the lowest rating.
This is one of most anti-Semitic conspiratorial laced books I have ever read. I gave up after about 75 pages when I realized it was nothing but drivel and poorly written drivel at that. King would have fit quite nicely in the Nazi Party of World War II.
It finally got to the point where I could not read this anymore and skimmed through it. I have to land on the page where he starts to say that gassing of Jews in the concentration camps was never proven. At that point I could not get out of it fast enough.
His note section are vague references that cite nothing specific which means they can been anything you want them to be. He intertwined some facts with every Jewish-based conspiracy he could think of even to the point of presenting stuff as fact with no substantiation or support at all.
Save yourself the headache and skip this crap. Its a "book" that would have made Joseph Goebbels proud.

Highly recommended reading as the book is brief full of verifiable facts that shows how WWII was unnecessary and brought to Germany for reasons other than what the present day education and political system want us to believe. Enlightening and important because we are still ruled today by those that brought WWII, and the war continues.

More confirmation Churchill was a monster and America fought the wrong enemy in WWII. To even say with a straight face that Hitler was worse than Stalin is ridiculous. You really get a sense of how much the press influenced public thought to the point where boomers today repeat the lies of back then without equivocation. WWII was a travesty.

We have been told so many lies about our history! WWII is no exception! This book will give you the truth about what really happened. Not the fabrication we’ve been taught in our high school text books. A must read!

Not adding to what other already said about this eye-opening and highly documented book, another important fact is that it just had been banned by Amazon, which finally gave up to the continued pressure of the Israeli lobby that demanded to ban it for quite some time.
It still can be ordered from http://tomatobubble.com/worldwarii.html

Revisionist garbage
Lacking in fact, it is simply a great example of the propaganda of that time.
A senseless, offensive and a clear racially inspired piece of hack garbage.

Though I preferred the book, "The Myth of German Villainy" over this book (mostly because "Villainy" goes into a much greater historic detail) this is still a good read. Easy to read and digest, it gives a great background on the history of WWI& WWII that most have never been taught.

This man hates Jews
The whole book is about conspiracy falsehoods and hatred. He heaps the most hate and blame on the Jewish people Just an awful read

Don't spend your money
I feel like this was written by an antisemitic. It's just all anti ally rhetoric. I only give it 1 star because there's nothing lower. It's bizarrely antisemitic. I'm not Jewish but even I can see that. Wtf

Excellent book. Truthful and factual, well researched. Gives one a completely different view of World War II, a view not taught in schools and universities. Germany never wanted war, tried to prevent the war, asked for peace, in writing, at least four times. Let 600,000 British soldiers escape capture at Dunkirk. The same with the Japanese, who wanted to end it much earlier. The world Jews declared war on Germany in 1933! No wonder Amazon has banned this author.
This book should be required reading for all to appreciate the problems we face today.

They really are behind all the wars
This book is absolutely essential reading to understand the why behind both world wars and the overall geopolitical situation that followed.

Holocaust Denier, Anti-Semitic trash. This is conspiratorial hate literature at its worst. Don't waste your time.

I can neither recommend nor not recommend this book.
It was a completely different take on WWII than anything I have read before. I appreciated the perspective of Germany, as I have read literally nothing from even a slightly pro-Axis point of view.
I am left needing more original sources to
Fill out my understanding; I am not ready to throw out every eye witness account, as propaganda. But Stalin’s role has been vastly diminished in my own education and Churchill has been given too esteemed a role.
My take away? Everyone was guilty during WWII.

Is this really the truth. Read this book and rethink.
This is a highly thought provoking book. It is a very long way from what I thought I knew. I will have to rethink a lot of my stuff, but deep down inside the atrocities of the allies have disturbed me deeply. The experimental genocidal atomic bombs were especially egregious examples of the barbaric disregard for human life that are outlined in this book.

This book effectively challenges the tsunami of propaganda against Germany since 1945.
My own research of the past 10 years confirms what King claims.
I expect that as soon as the $US is replaced as the global reserve currency as announced by the BRICS Alliance recently, the international banker cartel responsible for this massive scam against mankind, will be brought to task.

The Bad War
Poorly written. No support for facts. Author's personal opinions not based on facts. Must be a Donald Trump fan because he calls people names.

There are to sides to the coin, but for the past 75 years only one side is seen this book presents much of the other.
