'Tears in the Darkness' book review by Washington Times

from Washington Times:

This book is beautiful in every respect — except its core. Its subject is grim beyond words, tortuous, agonizing.

I couldn't put it down for the fascinations of its characters' inexplicable courage and survival instincts, for the mercy of release inferred in many deaths and for the closing irony of justice miscarried. Do I recommend it? Hardly. When my wife asked what made me straighten in my chair and mutter, I replied it was not something I wanted to read aloud. Still, it is an extraordinary work for those interested in human extremes.
