Fascinating perspective of an eyewitness to history. This book is unique among others of its type in that it is very well written, and the author is able to maintain objectivity in spite of having been both a victim and a witness to brutal subjugation and war crimes as a child.
As an adult, the author has broken out of the psychological grip of emotions that trap most people with such a traumatic past. The child has become a man of the world driven by an intellectual curiosity about the human struggle and the multitude of 20th Century experiences from various parts of the globe.
Add to all that the fact that he is very well versed in the art of story-telling and you have all the ingredients for stellar reading experience.
