We'd like to believe that these people are born killers, that they were all mad. That's hardly the truth though. Some were forced into it while others were glad for the cause. This book brings that to light. Well written and easily digestible, this book is ideal for the young scholar or for those that are unfamiliar with this portion of history. I found it intriguing and saddening but well worth the read - Greg (Manchester, UK). My grandfather fought in WWII. He spoke little about it before he passed away so I read what I can find. I'll admit that I don't always have the time to dive into large books. This book was perfect. There's a saying that history is told by the victor. There's truth to that. We're often afraid to look at the losers side but in this case I think it needs to happen. It was difficult to read about these things but it needs to be told. - Sophie (Utah, US)
