title: The Bravest Battle: The Twenty-eight Days Of The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
author:  Dan Kurzman 
description: LJ 's reviewer stated that this was "the first nonfiction attempt at a daily account of one of the most stirring battles in history" ( LJ 10/1/76). Kurzman reconstructs the events through interviews, documents, and diaries to present a firsthand accounting. The popularity of the film Schindler's List will no doubt generate renewed interest in all aspects of the Holocaust. For most libraries.<br />Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
