A very inspiring story about how a few men's refusal to give up hope resulted in the rescue of many. I'd read another book about the rise of Tito and it was chilling to see how he didn't mind slandering his rival and taking credit for the good he'd done in order to take power; it was also sad to see that Yugoslavia would fall to unrest and a totalitarian government simply for lack of good leadership.

I'd have enjoyed it even more without the frequent profanity and with the addition of a bibliography for further reading/more research.
