Negative Positive
Title: Astonishingly good
Review: I am quite surprised that this book is as difficult to find as it is. I've read it cover to cover twice, and will probably go back and start it again at some point. It's an incredibly rich and varied collection of writers' observations during the War, and although I've read a fair amount about WWII, I've never come across a source like this one. The editor shows great care in selecting sources, from poets to novelists to combat journalists; and even includes some thoughtful observers from the Axis countries. I would unreservedly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the history of the War.
