Herzog’s recent memoir is packed with incredible stories and hilarious quotes (“I can still milk a cow, and I recognize others who can as well...”), and altho I think Herzog fans would get a lot more out of it than others, it’s deep and moving and entertaining either way.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
