Oh, the things we did not learn in school. So I'm reading up on them now. ;-) This is about an era in my native Germany's history that is not well covered in school - and frankly, perhaps I wasn't very interested back then. ;-) Books like this are quite the eye-opener for me... and make me thankful for democracy.
I found it hard to continue sometimes - so many things made me very ANGRY. So many "what if's", and "If only's". Great read.
