Once We Were Brothers

Very riveting book. It was all I could do to refrain myself from reading the ending long before I reached the final pages. I knew that it would spoil the unread pages for me so I continuously devoured the last third of the book to find out the fate of the main characters. When our book club chose this book, I inwardly groaned and thought "not another WWII book." But I am so glad the book club selected this historical novel. It added to my knowledge of leading up to WWII and during the war, especially in the area of Poland. There are discussion questions at the back of the book but don't read them until you finish the book as at least one question contains a spoiler.
