Customer Reviews

First class account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during WWII

This book is the same as "To Outwit God" (accurate translation of the original) included in volumes with ISBN-10: 0810110504 and ISBN-10: 081011075X. It is a first class account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising - a very small Jewish resistance during the Holocaust of World War II - from its only surviving leader. There is no better information on the subject. It was well written and reads smoothly, but the subject is... death.

Uncompromising

This is a beautiful book that must be read over and over during different times in one's life. It is uncompromising and honest. It is about people, not characters. It will deliver as much as the reader is willing to receive.
