A remarkable book

This is the finest book about the holocaust, and perhaps one of the finest books that I have ever read. It should be required reading at the high school or college level, as well as for heads of state.

Superb writing

Mr Shepard did a superb job of illuminating the story of the liberation of Bergen Belsen by the British. The writing is very clear and compelling. It is definitely in my top collection of ""top 10 most clearly written books", making the reading of a very sad chapter of human history very rewarding indeed.
