Outstanding review, Werner! I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion that "people of all races should share their historical and current experiences with each other as widely as possible, and likewise share their reactions and dialogue together, in the belief that the commonalities that unite us as human beings are ultimately more significant, for our relations with each other, than the various experiences and particularities that divide us..." Perfectly stated :)
Thank you for this excellent review Werner! This is one of those books which I do intend to read, as I know it will be a salutary experience, but have not yet managed to steel myself.
Thank you, Jean! I hear you about steeling yourself. If you do read it sometime, I'll be interested in your review.
I read this book back in the 70s, before I started reviewing books, so I can't look back to see exactly what I thought about it. However, the images and the feelings I got have stayed clearly with me. I just may read it again.
If you do, Glen, I'll be interested in reading your thoughts!
Outstanding review is right! I doff my cap.

Thank you, A. M.!
Great review. I know I will be making my way through this slowly, but I am looking forward to it now that I've read your review.
Thanks, Eileen! I only read your comment just now (three years after you posted it), because Goodreads didn't notify me about it at the time. So now I'm of to check out your review, if you've posted one!
I am glad that you upgraded. It is an excellent book.
