Customer Review:
Perhaps it should surprise me less that locales once mauled by basest violence are often grotesquely tranquil: the soothing splash of waves at the D-Day beaches of Normandy; silently drifting snow flakes settling in a white shroud over Auschwitz, Majdanek, and Treblinka; flowers, flags and cold... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

What can I say about this book... It is not an easy read and it is important to realize that it is written from the point of view of the General Dallaire, the Force Commander for the operation.

Customer Review:
Gerard Prunier's latest book, Africa's World War, is a tale of dark conspiracy woven with incompetence.

Certainly there are... more info | 1.0 / 5.0
