This review is from: Friends and Heroes (The Balkan Trilogy) (Paperback)

This book along with the other two books that make up the "Balkan Trilogy" represents one of the best reviews of wartime in Romania and Greece in an interesting maneer without being a dry history lesson. The story is intriguing, mesmerizing and exciting and is wonderfully written.
