5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest War Writer Ever, May 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: S. S. General (Mass Market Paperback)

Sven Hassel manages to capture the pure essence of survival in a world gone mad. his stories are realistically horrific yet can capture your mind in a book, which after reading through the first few chapters, you won't want to stop reading it, and once you've finished, you want more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Sven Hassel classic., October 27, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: S. S. General (Mass Market Paperback)

Out of all Sven Hassel's books, SS General is not only the most intruguing but also the most enertaining. He manages to combine an excellent war story while preserving a uniue repetoire the reader achieves with all the usual characters (Tiny, Porta, etc) A brillinat book, read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars SS General is a graphic account of the unimaginable horrors, April 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: S. S. General (Mass Market Paperback)

Sven Hassel is a true survivor. His personal account of the horrors of war, the futility and the hope that you must keep going against the odds are no better summarised than in the SS General. The amazing story of his escape from the hell of Stalingrad is compulsory reading.
