A little known perspective of WWIIBy David BeaubienWhen the book arrived; I opened it immediately andread for a straight eight hours ----- cover-to-covernonstop. To me it was a "page turner"; and with areading glass to boot ---I think Pieter has created a masterpiece ------ hetells a story that; as far as my past reading on WWIIgoes; has not been told before. I have only knownPieter professionally. I had no idea how much hesuffered in his youth. Clearly it made his soulstronger ----- the title is well chosen".0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Overwhelming and unimaginableBy CustomerFrom my mother Joan; 77: "I finished reading the book and believe me; I was overwhelmed by it. It brought back so many memories - I used to wonder if the government made some of it up; but they could not do justice to the story as this book does. I am so glad it was published. I hope someone makes it into a movie. The author's bonding with Aaron van den Berg was so touching - I had tears in my eyes. It is a wonderful and informative book."
