One of the best books I've read in a long, long time. Great, great writing, and it's refreshing to read a book centered around WWII that doesn't fall into the usual tropes. Even though it's pretty long at over 500 pages, the structure allows you to take breaks easily; most sections are less than five pages long.

I usually keep only the highest quality books, and donate the rest of what I read to the local library. This one stays on the shelf. If you want intelligent writing, an intricate plot, and tons of great characters, this is the book for you.
