Christina rated it: 5 of 5 stars
Martha Gellhorn has mastered the ability to write in different perspectives as she floats from one character to the other in one scene, bringing the reader with her with every change in thought. At the end of this book, she leaves you with a complex situation involving a Jewish man who has just been given a tour of Dachau a week after WWII ended. It if left to the reader to decide if he is justified.

The first war novel written by a woman but widely recognized as incredibly realistic. Historians, assuming Gellhorn had written this as part of her journalistic coverage of WWII, even contacted her about details of the specific battles she wrote about before realizing they had been made up.
