Title: War as it really is
Product review: The best thing about this book is its honesty. It presents war as it really is: brutal, dehumanizing, miserable and painful. There is no attempt to justify anything, or to explain the history and politics of the time. There is just a description of one man's experience in war.Willy Peter Reese wanted to be a writer, so he wrote about his experiences. The first part of the book is over-written, as if he was trying too hard. But in the second half of the book, Reese matures as an author as he matures as a soldier. There are some powerful passages that will awaken memories and feelings in anyone who has been in circumstances where life has lost its attraction.
