I read The Arms Of Krupp when I was in high school- it was very readable. It was one of the first books to make me thing that historical writing could be as interesting as fiction. But it is hard to find good historical writing. I think because the imagination is constrained by the facts. It takes a very special writer to breathe life into facts that are not their own creation.

What I liked was it gave some insight to why the Germans built such a powerful army and how their mastery of steel making allowed them to do it. Also how they were able to rebuild after WW I. It must be 30 years since I read that book.
