Romance of the Three Kingdoms

[Cadet Ember McLain]

What type of evil? True story evil, or fictional evil?

[stokeriño]

Presumably real evil people, as implied by "weird interest in learning".

My weird interests in learning generally revolve around military tactics, so I don't think would be quite up your alley. >_> I especially want "Fighter Pilot Tactics: The Techniques of Dalight Air Combat" by Mike Spick, but I haven't yet been bothered to order it in from the US. Why these kind of books are nigh impossible to find in this country, I don't know.

People often scream out against Lee Harvey Oswald for shooting JFK.

I found the Don DeLillo novel "Libra" extremely interesting as it draws on a lot of events from Oswald's life and places them into a 'story' to read.

While the novel shows Oswald as a general nasty piece of work with a bad temper, it also shows how and why he ended up with a communist agenda and makes him into much of of an actual person than all the one sided media pieces on him ever did.

I'd suggest looking to possibly the Memoires of Alister Crowley..I'm not exactly sure on the name of the book, but if you are looking for "evil" then he's the guy...Same for Anton Lavey.

for fictional evil it would have to be perfume by peter suskind, i've not seen the film yet but the book is amazing and as for real evil for want of a better word i have always had abit of a thing for robespierre and the french revolution alot of nasty goings on for sure.

I just picked up The Last King Of Scotland. I haven't read it yet, but it exists.
