Book Reviews of Secret City: The Hidden Jews of Warsaw, 1940-1945

Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars

I found this book extremely riveting, showing both an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject, and a penetrating ability to challenge accepted dogma. It is very easy to read; Paulsson's simplicity of language will encourage anyone who is not already familiar with the topic. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the Second World War, or in Polish-Jewish relations, or even just looking for something interesting and challenging to read. I picked up a copy after the Guardian recommended it, and I was not disappointed!
