I took history in school, enjoyed it immensely! The review was amazing and I would love to read this book. Been a while since I read a history book, and from your review, I understand this book is inspiring!
Thank you ?

Great review! I have downloaded my free copy of the book. I am determined to finish the story. I want to know more about the experiences of the young soldier stationed in Germany during the Korean war and their journey in saving the top secret technology.

I'm not sure of I would enjoy this type of book. Main reason would be all the swearing. But we'll done on book of the day.

Latest Review: The Prize by Geoffrey M Cooper

Sounds like an interesting read. I generally am not a big fan of historical fiction, but I'd read a war book. Frankly, don't know too much about the Korean War, so this looks like an good read.

I think the book is well written eventhough I don't have that much knowledge about wars. But all in all good job.

A book well worth reading!

Great review. I can understand not liking profanity, however, that seemed to be the norm from what I was told by members of my family that served.
