This is one of the most harrowing, disturbing history books I have ever read and further proof that nothing good happens on Dec 12 (I was born on this date).

Should be required reading in any and all world history courses, military history courses, and quite frankly, history in general. Tough and emotional, but straightforward and informative. Devastating in its details, but a powerful read.
