""I'm quite interested in history in general and have read lot's of History-of-Europe-books over the years. This book, however, was different in a positive way. It takes recent history to a personal level, first by the red thread being the aouthor travelling to the more or less core sites of the last century while telling his story on the way, second by finding a large amount of first-hand sources still alive and willing to share. It gave me new insight in a page-turner, but professional way. What more can you ask from a history book?""
