great history lesson

A good book to read. You get a better understanding of the pre/during/post WW II period in Europe of politics and the main actors involved. I read the original in Dutch where it was published three years ago. Now I give it to my American relatives to read. The humanity the author expresses in the book really struck me. It put a human face on much I have read till now about these years.
