Reviews

[Charlie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Almost like a Readers Digest version of war stories --- in fact, it is. Many of the stories I'm sure have been made into movies. Good read.

[Ben · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some really good stories about heroism on both sides of World War II. Recommend it if you are a big fan of history.

[Kent Archie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lots of short stories of amazing stories from WW2. The bravery, cleverness and dedication
of the people who fought against the Nazis is inspiring
