World War II from a different perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
At the time of Inga's experiences detailed in this book, I was a young kid who was running around picking up pieces of shrapnel in the streets and fields near my home in Kent, on the outskirts of London. At that time I might have been forgiven for thinking that 'the only good German was a dead German.' A number of years later--thanks in part to my father's teaching--I learned that there is good and bad in all peoples. Like any other experiences told in book form, Inga's account tells only of her personal experiences--but what heart-wrenching experiences they are. Some 50 years after the war had ended I was fortunate enough to meet Inga, and I hope I am not being presumptuous when I say that we became very good friends. So much for two young people growing up in Berlin and London during the war.
Exceptional first hand account

A 17 year old Inga experiences the fates of war as the Russians enter her hometown of Berlin. Inga Chesney is a very good writer and is adept at letting the reader get to know her thoughts and feelings at a very formative time of her life. While the title is a bit harsh, the book is rather uplifting. Inga experiences the very worst and best of people and lives to tell of a part of history that is not well known, at least here in America. I highly recommend this because I believe that all things that happened during this period should not be forgotten.
