Customer Reviews

Great Book!, Great Gift!

Thorough and very readable. Like good history makes you want to read on even though you know the ending.

brilliantly written; an exiting and informative read

Even if this book is currently somewhat harder to come by, this is definitely the book to read if you want insight in this all-important part of WW II as well as an eminently readable book. Mr. Van der Vat's background as a journalist clearly shows, as well as his and his wife's thorough research on the subject. One of the few of my history books that stands re-reading without losing its grip.
