5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent eyewitness source
I first read this book in the 1990's and now use it to illustrate the deprivations and effects of war on civilian populations in my history classes. An excellent eyewitness diary account of the horrors of war.

For the historian, or those interested in first-hand accounts, the book has its value. For the rest, a better book by far is Stokesbury's _The 900 Days_.
