Anyhow, that book did a wonderful job of describing the horrors of the war, so much so that I could only read a few chapters at a time before switching to something lighter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-82921927247284807592008-12-23T23:20:00.000-06:002008-12-23T23:20:00.000-06:00Good review.

Great review. Happy Holidays!!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.com
