Beauty in an odd setting

This book is a poetic look at what the author sees. He obviously never heard Sherman's line, "War is hell." The descriptive narrative is beautiful yet still holds weight.
If war were what he describes the human race would never be in a different state.

Horribly Boring

I've been an avid reader of WWII for the past 6 years, I have read historical fiction about WWII and hundreds of non-fiction accounts and documentaries. This book is horrible compared to practically any of them, the ideas portrayed about the war being a machine and the soldiers fighting it the workers simply leaves me without words to convey how horribly written this work was. I read the first 100 pages, even with those I had to skim through the majority of it and was simply going out of my mind to try and finish it faster and faster. Only thing that was of some interest was to see that Ukrainians were very rarely found in the POW's that the Germans were taking when in Bessarabia and Ukraine in 1941, mostly central asians and far easterners.
