This book was very interesting and I enjoyed the stories. I like that there were stories showing both sides, their struggles and victories. The stories are well written and have interesting facts. I found myself wondering exactly how much was true and how much was contrived. I did look up some people that were mentioned to learn more about them and that information did match what the book said. It is just the part about ghosts and spirits etc that seem far fetched but of course people can decide how much of that they want to believe. I only gave it 3 stars because it got a little boring at times, this isn't really my reading style, but I did like that the stories were more positive and not just depressing war stories. I am glad I read it and I'll be passing it on to someone else who will enjoy it.
