A Wonderful Historical Account

The Secret Ship is not written extremely well, but it does the job. It tells how hard the holocaust was to get out of. The best and most horifying parts of the book were the introduction and the epiloge. If you really, really want to, read the whole book. Otherwise just read those parts. I think that it is worth buying just for those parts. The body of the book is great for fourth graders. Even though I'm not exactly praising their book, I hold Kluger and Mann in extremely high respect.Thank you for doing this and helping people understand what really happened.
