Book Reviews of Wine and War: The French, the Nazis, and the Battle for France's Greatest Treasure

Book Review: Community power in the face of political might
Summary: 5 Stars

One of the best 'war' books I have ever read, as it is not about agression, but of collaboration and a love of something which bonds so many together. The repercussions of the strength of these wine families and communities is felt still today.

I have actually just started to re read this boook, and am fascinated again to read about Berchesgarten in the first few pages - a place I have seen, but at the time had NO idea what lay behind those walls. I love books which give you a new perspective on a well written about series of events.
