No Doubt, in the top 3 best books I have read in my 50 years on the planet. Absolutely gripping and tragic. Amazing that anyone could undergo such physical and spiritual torments and dare to relive them by writing about them with such complete candor. Brings life as a German soldier in WW 2 to life with some of the most vivid images in all literature. Evokes the sadness we must all share at the fact of our flawed nature. A nature capable of such highs and lows; such tenderness but also such complete evil. Readers must rethink the concept of "Them" being somehow different from "Us". Mind altering reading.
