Fascinating Piece of World War 11 History

I found this book fascinating and extremely readable. I was not able to put it down. I especially liked the way the author wove her father's story into the events of Hitler's attempt to take over Europe. I did not know the story of the brave Polish and Czech people and how after giving their all to the Allied cause they were ultimately "given up" to appease the Russians.
