Nov 23, 2021I didn’t have nearly enough prerequisite knowledge to fully enjoy this book. There were a lot of situations, names, and places that I probably was supposed to know because they weren’t really explained during the narrative.

In recent years, there have been films focusing on hunting down Nazis after the war, but I haven't seen any about Jewish soldiers taking on that role. Another important piece from this book was bringing to light the Anti-Semitism from other countries besides Germany, especially the Anti-Semitism from British soldiers that stemmed from fighting in Palestine.
