One reviewer wrote recently "This book is not a history, and if you seek a historian's objectivity you will not find it. This book is rather something quite different. It is a personal narrative written by a sensitive human being who has experienced things most of us will never thankfully have to experience. What Bourke-White gives us is a unique record in pictures and words of what it was like in Germany as that place faced the whirlwind of two great armies. Bourke-White writes about the camps and the GIs and the DPs and the concentration camp survivors and those that didn't survive, and she writes about the Germans who stood by and imagined that the world Hitler envisioned was the ideal one and that it should exist for a 1000 years."
