The General of the Dead Army by Ismail Kadare
3.0
This book is amazing. Unnamed general and unnamed priest are collecting bones of the fallen Italian soldiers in the Second world war in Albania. They are especially searching colonel Z. from the notorious battalion who killed even it's own's soldiers.
The book is very well written. We get to see different perspective of war and i really like Kadare's writing. But i don't like the end.
After general finds colonel's bones and after he threw them from the bridge everything falls a part. I didn't like the fact that general goes slightly mental after that. It was unnecessary. And the whole atmosphere just disappeared.
