A comprehensive short story collection between June and December of 1943, during the second world war.
Most stories are enticing and keep you on your knees, begging the men to see the light of a new day.
The book does a beautiful job of showing gruesomeness without vulgarizing it.
The main issue with this format is that I felt disconnected from the characters. Not even to the narrator.
