Title: Great account of Jewish resistance, with a personal emphasis
Review: Rare is it to find a book that so succinctly depicts the frightening uncertainty of being a Jewish partisan outnumbered against the Nazis during the Second World War. Rarer still is it to find a book like Shalom Yoran's, one that captures his deeply personal experience of fighting the opposition side by side under emotionally and physically gruelling and painful conditions. Yoran relates his harrowing experiences of losing loved ones while battling the cold, hunger, supposed fellow partisans who make anti-Semitic attacks upon Yoran and his Jewish comrades, and his own feelings of self-doubt as he struggles to overcome the ultimate evil (the Nazi forces who wish to kill him and his fellow Jewish comrades) and gain back his freedom. A must-read.
