Chiefly didactic; Forester was no longer writing war propaganda but instead trying to memorialize the horrors of the Nazi regime. Distinctively Forester, and definitely horrifying, but not his best work. ( ) In the series of ten linked short stories within this volume Forester tells of the Nazi rise to power through the horrors of the death camps and the 'final solution' and on to the end of the War.Although as the author tells us in the prefatory note 'Not one of these stories tells of an actual happening,but all of them except the last could easily have happened.' The story called 'Miriam's Miracle' is outstanding. Personally I have found this book one of the most evocative books describing World War Two,whether fiction or non-fiction.I urge anyone with an interest in the subject to read it.
The nightmare set in motion by Germany must not be forgotten. It is this Forester seems to be seeing in a collection of stories that might have happened, tales based on facts elicited from the Nuremberg and Belsen trials. They have their sense of authenticity, as they unfold the horrors of unfettered power. It happened less than a decade ago. People like these people did things that- read in cold blood- seem debased, or horrifying, or so inhuman as to be incredible. A born tale spinner uses novel material. Prijzen
