Sven does it again/,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloody Road to Death (Hardcover)
Once again with the familar set of characters, Sven takes us into the horrific world of the German soldier of World War II. It is always refreshing to read of Hassel's experiences during the war, it reminds us that the German soldiers of the war were also men much like us and not the stereotypical Nazi of our mass media.

Best Sven Hassel book of all.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloody Road to Death (Hardcover)
The Bloody Road To Death must be the funniest of all Sven's novels (and it's definately the one I would make into a film if I had any choice about such things). It's set in Greece mainly but they do get back to Russia by the end.It has three major chapters one after the other:- The Fleas (Porta's flea ridden furs and their path through the regiment etc), Escort Duty (Tiny and Porta on a wild trip through Europe) and Darjeeling Tea (Porta and Wolf and their black market tea dealing). It's almost incidental that there's a war on. Fantastic stuff.

Refreshingly funny,yet distressingly brutal,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloody Road to Death (Hardcover)
Sven Hassel once again shows us a picture of the Second World War from the "loser's" point of view.In describing the daliy vexations and hardships of the German soldier one can see that regardless of sides that war is a demeaning and depersonalizing business. One ends the book not seeing German soldiers but ordinary men caught in an unpleasant and dehumanizing war.
