Book Reviews of A Woman in Berlin: Eight Weeks in the Conquered City: A Diary

Book Review: Excellent Read
Summary: 5 Stars

I read this book on the train to and from work. It is intense. War from a woman's point of view. What these women (the author included) endured under Soviet occupation was gut-wrenching. The writer brings you right into her world - hiding in basements, looking for food in the ruins, being repeatedly raped by the 'Ivans' (their word for Russians). An excellent read. I highly recommend it.
