This was an okay overview. It didn’t get into much detail but it wasn’t bad. 3.1 stars

[Roger Hales]

interesting historically, but…..

Poor translation, pedantic, stilted, but an illuminating history of Finish perseverance against an unwarranted Stalinist invasion.
The struggle against tyranny established Finish democracy for the future.

[Michael Cronk]

Deadliest Farmer

An amazing story about a farmer/ hunter that became the deadliest sniper. He merged the skills of stealth and precision with patience and became the ultimate hunter of men.

[Alexi Protopsaltis]

Concentrazione pura, impegno totale, volontà ferrea. Ci dovrebbero essere più persone così.

[Joe Hutchison]

Great war story that inspires

[Julia Jazwiecka]

Good, fasts to read and interesting. A lot of the book talks about the war more than Simo himself. In my edition at least there are a lot of typos and missing letters.

[Nicolò Cherubini]

Libro in cui si tratta (a grandi linee) la vita del cecchino più letale al mondo, il finlandese Simo Häyhä. Lettura leggera, ricca di spunti per eventuali approfondimenti.
