Gruesome, horrifying, and sobering. Although I did not enjoy reading it, I felt it was important to.

I read this in bits and pieces during an archaeological dig, but I would pick it up from time to time and still be immediately grabbed by the horror of it all. Pretty hard read, some visceral reactions, and the reflection on being little ants in the generals' plans is very poignant.
